FTSE 250 movers: Hays jumps; Vistry slides

(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 22,705.94 0.49% Recruitment firm Hays said it had appointed interim CEO Mark Dearnley to the post on a permanent basis.

Prior to being appointed interim CEO in February, Dearnley was Hays chief digital and technology officer having joined from Inchcape.

Vistry shares fell on a report the house builder had ordered subcontractors to halt work on new developments to preserve cash while more than £130m of off‑balance‑sheet investments have been red‑flagged, according to The Times.

The housebuilder - which trades as Bovis, Linden and Countryside - is facing a sharply falling share price and mounting pressure from hedge funds, with short positions hitting a record 12.5% of shares on loan after the stock shed a fifth of its value last week.
