FTSE 250 Movers: Travis Perkins plumbs the depths

29th Jul 2011 13:00

Rentokil Initial, the pest control and cleaning services group, watched its share price head north after announcing it expects an improved fourth quarter performance at City Link. Building materials provider Travis Perkins saw its share price fall nearly 5% after sales of 'big ticket' kitchen and bathroom items fell leaving the company with a weaker trading pattern for the half year period. Despite this, the group saw a 25% surge in half year pre-tax profit, bolstered by earnings from last year's acquisition of plumbing supplies firm BSS.
