Oasis Healthcare chief buys again

Date: Friday 03 Dec 2004

LONDON (ShareCast) - Oasis Healthcare's new chief executive Stephen Lambert bought 165,000 shares in the company at 10.50p for just over £17,000.

This marks his second buy in four months after he snapped up 35,000 shares at 16p at the start of August.

Earlier this week the dental group narrowed first half losses after an increased demand for oral health care.

"We believe that in the longer term the dental market remains an extremely attractive business opportunity driven by a consumer-led market for increased levels and choices of oral health care provision," said Oasis.

New chief Stephen Lambert who joined in August this year has been carrying out an operating review and is currently overseeing further restructuring to boost earnings growth.
