Severn Valley share offer hits £2.5million target after last day 'rush'

摘要

A LAST-minute rush of purchases on the final day of the Severn Valley's (SVR) Bridgnorth share offer enabled the railway to successfully reach its £ 2.5million target. Budding shareholders queued at the SVR's Kidderminster offices throughout the day on October 31, which remained open right until 21.00, such was the level of demand. At one point in excess of £33,000-worth of share sales were made in just four hours. It brought to an end a frenetic few weeks of trading that saw almost £750,000 received since the end of September, 60,000 shares being sold during the October half-term week alone.
