Director dealings: Victorian Plumbing founder raises stake

(Sharecast News) - Victorian Plumbing Group revealed on Tuesday that chief executive Mark Radcliffe had purchased 700,000 ordinary shares in the AIM-listed firm. Radcliffe, who founded Victorian Plumbing in 2000, purchased the shares on Monday at an average price of 50.60p each, for a total value of £354,199.99.

Back in February, the bathroom products retailer said it had continued to trade in line with guidance issued at the time of its full-year results in December but warned that full-year margins would be "slightly lower" than originally anticipated after opting to absorb certain additional costs.

Victorian Plumbing warned that ongoing inflationary cost pressures remained and said it was "acutely aware" that customers were also managing inflationary pressures and would likely adopt a careful approach to price rises.

As of 1610 BST, Victorian shares had shot up 12.68% at 63.0p.
