LONDON (ShareCast) - The chairman of Hong-Kong-based UniVision Engineering bought shares in the company on Wednesday as a sign of confidence in improving business conditions for 2015.
Stephen Sin Mo Koo, the chief of the electronic equipment firm, spent £14,550 to acquire 1.5m new shares.

After buying the shares at an individual price of 0.97p, the Mo Koo was left holding a total of 279.7m shares, representative of 72.9%.

The businessman said in the group's interim report last month that, despite a drop in profits for the first half of the year, new infrastructure projects would "support growth of the group's income in future years".

In 2014 UniVision registered a decline in revenue to £3.1m from £4.4m the year before, as a result of worsening conditions at its Taiwan construction business. The chief factor behind the above was the decrease in job orders and delays to projects driven by a budget reduction at a major local customer.
