LONDON (ShareCast) - Non-Executive Director Mark Reckitt has modestly increased his holding in food producer Cranswick with the purchase of 1,300 shares.

The £15,795 deal, in which Reckitt bought the shares at 1,215p each, came around one month after the group, which is Britain’s largest pork processor, shrugged off record input prices to report annual growth in most of its product categories and underlined its confidence in future trading with an increased dividend payment.

The FTSE-250 firm, which processes and supplies fresh pork, sausage, sandwiches, bacon, charcuterie and pastry products, said revenue grew 12% to £980.6m for the year ended March 31st, while adjusted pre-tax profit rose 6% to £52.2m.
