LONDON (ShareCast) - Four directors of Breedon Aggregates, the AIM-listed building materials group, topped up their stakes on Thursday, a few days after the company said that full-year results would be in line with market expectations.

Collectively, the directors invested a total of half a million pounds in the business after it reported on Monday that sales revenue in the second half of the year (ending December 31st) has been "slightly stronger" than the first half.

While the outlook for 2013 "remains uncertain" and the UK building market remains tough - the Construction Products Association is forecasting no return to growth before 2014 - Breedon said that it remains confident that it will make further progress next year.

Executive Chairman Peter Tompurchased 750,000 ordinary shares at 20p a pop for £150,000, taking his total interest in the firm to 5.4%.

David Williams, non-executive director, bought 500,000 shares at 20p each for £100,000, pushing his stake up to 2.12%.

Susie Farnon, non-executive director, purchased 250,000 shares at 20p each for £50,000, increasing her stake to 0.25%.

However, David Warr, non-executive director, made the largest transaction, snapping up 1,000,000 shares at 20p each for £200,000.
