Heavitree Brewery PLC: what insiders have been doing
This page follows insider dealings at Heavitree Brewery PLC as filed with RNS (LSE), a company from the Food & Beverage sector. 7 insiders have disclosed 13 filings since 18 October 2025.
All open-market trades in the period are sales: 4 sales worth €16k, by 4 insiders, with no purchase on record. The largest single trade was a sale of €6,345 by William McLean, published on 14 May 2026, equal to 0.038% of the market capitalisation.
Between a trade and the moment it shows up on RNS (LSE), the median delay is 7 days. The regulation allows three business days to notify a trade (UK MAR). Sales are harder to read than purchases, since they often meet personal needs such as tax or diversification.
Across the 832 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 6 filings; at 13 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Looking back to 2023, when coverage begins, insiders filed no purchases and 6 sales.
For comparison within the same sector, see the insider buying recorded at Village Farms International, Inc. and Orkla ASA. This summary is built from RNS (LSE) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.

About Heavitree Brewery PLC
Heavitree Brewery PLC is a small-cap UK pub and hospitality business quoted on the AIM market of the London Stock Exchange (FTSE 100/250/AIM) in the United Kingdom. For French-speaking investors, it should be understood primarily as a regional owner-operator of traditional pubs and inns, with a core footprint in the South West of England, especially Devon and surrounding towns and villages. The company describes itself as an independent, family-run business focused on the lease and operation of public houses, while a wholly owned subsidiary, Heavitree Inns Limited, operates managed houses within the estate. The group also has a separate subsidiary, Heavitree Inc, which owns land in the United States, although that is not central to the operating story.
The company’s history is one of its main distinguishing features. Heavitree traces its roots back to 1790, when the Heavitree Family Brewery was founded in Exeter. The business became The Heavitree Brewery Limited in 1890 and gradually expanded through historic acquisitions. Brewing operations ceased in 1970, after which the group evolved into a pub-estate business rather than a brewer. That long transition matters from an analytical perspective: Heavitree is now effectively a hybrid of hospitality operations and property-backed pub ownership, with earnings driven by tenant relationships, pub trading conditions, and estate management rather than beer production.

Operationally, the group’s assets are pubs with a strong local identity, often located in residential communities, market towns, coastal locations, and tourism-oriented areas. Its offer typically includes food, drinks, outdoor areas, parking, and in some cases accommodation. Management emphasizes preserving the individuality of each pub rather than enforcing a standardized chain format. This gives the business a distinctive niche position versus larger branded operators, but it also means the estate is more exposed to local demand trends, tourism flows, and consumer spending conditions in the South West.
From a competitive standpoint, Heavitree is a regional specialist rather than a national consolidator. Its scale is modest, but it benefits from a long operating history, family ownership, and a clearly defined geographic focus. The company is headquartered in Exeter, Devon, and its main country of operation is England within the United Kingdom.
Recent developments underscore its status as a listed AIM company with active regulatory disclosure. The company’s financial page, last updated on 15 January 2026, references the 2025 Annual Report and a series of recent regulatory notifications, including Director/PDMR shareholding updates. Heavitree also released its preliminary results in February 2025. Overall, the investment case is best framed as a heritage pub-estate business with a local defensive profile, limited scale, and exposure to UK consumer and hospitality trends rather than a high-growth listed leisure platform.
