Mears Group PLC: what insiders have been doing

This page follows insider dealings at Mears Group PLC as filed with RNS (LSE), a company from the Retail sector based in United Kingdom. The group dates from 1988. From 22 October 2025 to 22 October 2026, the disclosure feed for Mears Group PLC logged 4 filings by 2 insiders.

The flow runs one way only: 1 insider bought (1 purchase totalling €44k) and nobody sold on the market. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Those buying include 1 chief executive. The largest single trade was a purchase of €44k by Lucas Critchley, published on 22 May 2026.

The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 170 days ago, on 22 May 2026. The median gap between a trade and its publication by RNS (LSE) is 1 day. Under the UK Market Abuse Regulation, managers have three business days to notify their trades.

With 4 filings in twelve months, the company is quieter than the median of 6 filings across the 834 companies we follow on the same exchange. Over the whole record (from 2013), the tally stands at 16 purchases and 6 sales.

For comparison within the same sector, see the insider buying recorded at Rusta AB (publ) and Puuilo Oyj. Source: insider filings from RNS (LSE). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
