Thanks hvs. A good carefully run company paying a dividend. I intend this to be a long term hold.

Good luck.

Yes, the BPR relief for IHT is one thing that makes this stock very satisfactory and worth holding on to for IMHO.

Very solid cash flow and nearly £ 12 mill in the bank.

It just keeps growing.

Brilliant results :

Group revenue for the financial year to 31 March 2014 was GBP163.1m, 14.0% up on last year's GBP143.1m. The operating profit was GBP11.3m, up GBP3.9m from GBP7.4m last year. Included in the operating profit this year is GBP1.8m of exceptional gains relating to the pension scheme, explained in more detail below. The increase in volumes traded this year has been achieved without greatly affecting costs.

The directors recommend a final dividend of 8.0p per ordinary share (2013: 7.1p). The final dividend will be paid on 22 August 2014 to shareholders on the register at the close of business on 1 August 2014. The shares will become ex-dividend on 30 July 2014.
