(Sharecast News) - Carr's Group revealed on Thursday that non-executive director and chairman designate Peter Page had acquired 40,000 ordinary shares in the London-listed agriculture and engineering firm.
Page, who was tapped to take over as chairman back in October, purchased the shares on Monday, at an average price of 159.78p each, for a total transaction value of £63,912.

Back in July, Carr's said that trading for the financial year was in line with the board's expectations.

"As we have previously stated, significant uncertainty remains associated with Brexit and the UK's future relationship with the EU, and we continue to closely monitor the position," said Carr's at the time.

"Our diversified agriculture business and international footprint provide some protection from the impact of an adverse outcome to Brexit negotiations."

As of 1635 GMT, Carr's shares were down 2.53% at 154p.
