LONDON (ShareCast) - The wife of a new non-executive director at Carr's Group bought some shares on Wednesday showing confidence in the group which is facing a decline in UK farm incomes due to a fall in farm-gate milk prices.
Shelagh Worby, the wife of John Worby, purchased 25,000 shares for an individual price of 155.7p, spending a total of £38,925.

These were the first shares purchased by Worby, who join the board this month. Worby will become the chairman of the Audit Committee and the senior independent director from May.

Chief executive Tim Davies said on Monday challenging conditions had persisted in some of its markets, including the UK, but added that the group remains on track to meet its expectations for the full year.
