FTSE 250 movers: Lion Finance surges; ME Group slumps
(Sharecast News) - FTSE 250 (MCX) 23,620.99 0.51% Trainline chief executive Jody Ford is stepping down after more than six years in the job, the online ticketing platform said on Wednesday, sending shares in the company down 6%.
Ford will continue in post through the transition to new leadership. The board has started a formal search process for his successor, the company added.
The company also reconfirms its previously upgraded market guidance for fiscal 2026 and will provide more information at its trading update on March 12.
"This would be the right time to handover to new leadership," Ford said. "I will work closely with the board and my outstanding team over the coming months to ensure a smooth transition."
International Personal Finance and Lion Finance were both higher after results.
Hammerson returned to statutory profit in 2025 and reported double-digit growth in rental income and net tangible assets on Wednesday, as the retail-focused landlord said it was well positioned for further expansion in 2026 and beyond.
Me Group tumbled as it delayed the publication of its full-year results but reaffirmed guidance.
Previously known as Photo-Me International, the company stressed that no material issues had been identified and reiterated that trading remained in line with expectations, with total revenue expected to come in between £311m and £318m in the year ended 31 October 2025 and pre-tax profits forecast at £76m to £79m.
However, the FTSE 250-listed group also said it anticipates a temporary suspension of its shares from 2 March until such a time as the results can be released, which was expected to take place before 13 March.
