Dividends
We have a progressive dividend policy and from June 2006 the company has adopted a quarterly dividend policy, which means shareholders receive income faster and more regularly.
Under normal circumstances the first three quarterly dividends of each financial year will be the same and we will indicate their level in advance. This year (2007/8) we have indicated that the first three dividends will be 1.9p and a final dividend of at least 1.9p.
The Directors will use the fourth quarterly dividend as an opportunity to increase the total dividend payable for that financial year.
