THE four Scottish business heavyweights who rescued bus and coach builder Alexander Dennis from the brink of collapse have reaped £1.2 million in dividends as annual profits at the company jumped by more than 40%.
Falkirk-based Alexander Dennis’s latest accounts reveal a pre-tax profit of £4.5m for the 2010 calendar year, compared with £3.2m the year before.
At the same time, turnover slipped to £283m from £290m last time, largely on the back of the depressed UK bus market.
