This is the thirteenth consecutive year that the Company has increased its dividend.
CT Private Equity has noted that since the quarter ended 30 June 2023 the quarterly dividend paid has remained unchanged at 7.01 pence per share. CT Private Equity believes that it is important that the total dividend Shareholders receive on an annual basis increases each year.
