24th Aug 2012 15:53

Logistics firm Stobart fell after saying its short-term performance in transport is lower than market expectations as the current recessionary climate continues to hurt the sector. Platinum miner Lonmin was out of favour after appointing Simon Scott, the group's Chief Financial Officer, as Acting Chief Executive Officer, while Ian Farmer is receiving treatment for his illness. Work-wear and wash-room facilities provider Berendsen rose slightly after increasing profitability in the first half of 2012, despite a small dip in revenues.
