Bunzl plc has granted nil-cost share awards to 11 senior executives, including Chief Executive Officer Frank van Zanten and Chief Financial Officer Richard Howes, under its Deferred Annual Share Bonus Scheme.

Spark’s Take on GB:BNZL Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, GB:BNZL is a Outperform.
The score is led by solid financial performance—especially strong free-cash-flow quality—offset by leverage and recent profitability/margin pressure. Technicals are supportive with positive momentum, while valuation looks reasonable given the mid-teens P/E and ~3.3% yield. Earnings call commentary adds caution due to guidance for slightly lower margins and ongoing regional/execution headwinds.
