Director dealings: Shaftesbury chairman ups stake
Shaftesbury revealed on Monday that chairman Jonathan Nicholls had purchased 15,000 ordinary shares in the FTSE 250-listed real estate investment trust.
Nicholls, who was appointed to the board of Shaftesbury back in September 2016, acquired the shares on Friday at an average price of 797.15p each, for a total value of £119,572.20.
Real estate investment trust Shaftesbury reported high footfall during the Christmas period, with early data indicating that turnover growth had continued despite reports of static or declining retail revenues across the UK.
Shaftesbury said in late January that London's West End, where the majority of its portfolio was located, still saw "huge numbers" of visitors during the Christmas trading period and was somewhat insulated from the headwinds seen elsewhere thanks to its "broad-based economy, international status and appeal".
As of 1625 GMT, Shaftesbury shares were up 0.81% at 797p.
