Young & Co's Brewery Share News (YNGA)

(Sharecast News) - British pub chain Young & Co revealed on Tuesday that chief executive Patrick Dardis had sold 7,468 ordinary shares in the AIM-listed firm.
Dardis, who took over as CEO at Young's back in 2016, disposed of the shares at an average price of 1,620.0p each, for a total value of £120,981.61.

Back in July, Young's warned that the pattern of poor weather which affected trading in the beginning of its financial year had continued into the summer, with an "inevitable" effect on its performance.

Although managed house sales for the first 13 weeks of the year were up by 4.4% in total, they were down by 2.1% on a like-for-like basis.

By comparison, at last year's meeting, it reported a 5.2% increase in managed house like-for-like sales, having benefited from a long period of "very warm" weather.

As of 1640 BST, Young's shares were up 1.24% at 1,630p.
