Agcert shares increase following sharp drop

AGCERT shares jumped 12% yesterday after the greenhouse gas emissions specialist issued an upbeat trading statement.

But the Dublin company, which floated on London’s Alternative Investment Market (AIM) earlier this year, said its search for a new chief executive was still ongoing.

The previous chief executive, Alan Tank, quit in September when the company’s share price collapsed by almost 50% after it said revenue targets would not be met.
