The company enjoyed a profits jump of 39% and revenue 25% last year.
Samples has 400,000 shares subject to awards, Dodds 100,000 and Brook 40,000.
Gareth Samples has served as Chief Executive Officer for over five years and has played a key role.”
In a statement to the City released at the end of last week, TPFG said: “Gareth Samples has served as Chief Executive Officer for over five years and has played a key role in the Group’s growth and strategic development during that period.
“The Board believes that his continued leadership over the next three years will be important to the successful delivery of the Group’s strategy.”
It went on to say: “Reflecting this, Gareth has been granted an enhanced one-off award under the 2026 LTIP [Long Term Incentive Plan] as opposed to a standard annual grant.”
TPFG says the award covers performance over the three financial years ending 31 December 2028.
