Whitbread PLC: what insiders have been doing
Whitbread PLC is a listed company based in Dunstable, United Kingdom, founded in 1742. Its insiders report their share dealings to RNS (LSE). The last twelve months, up to 18 October 2026, brought 45 filings signed by 18 insiders.
On the market, 4 insiders bought (6 purchases totalling €344k) while 9 insiders sold (17 sales totalling €5.9M). Sales outweigh purchases by €5.6M. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. The largest single trade was a sale of €1.2M by Dominic Paul, published on 22 May 2026. On the buying side, the filings list 4 board members among the declarants.
With 45 filings in twelve months, the company is more active than the median of 6 filings across the 833 companies we follow on the same exchange. Looking back to 2023, when coverage begins, insiders filed 13 purchases and 42 sales.
The data flag 3 purchases as part of a group of insiders buying within 30 days of each other. Such overlaps are known as a cluster signal: distinct people reaching the same decision at about the same time. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 66 days ago, on 12 August 2026. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on RNS (LSE), the median delay is 1 day. Under the UK Market Abuse Regulation, managers have three business days to notify their trades. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning.
Every figure here comes from the filings published by RNS (LSE) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
