In the last week, the United Kingdom market has remained flat, yet over the past 12 months, it has experienced a 6.5% rise with earnings forecasted to grow by 14% annually. In such an environment, identifying growth companies with high insider ownership can be particularly appealing as they often signal strong confidence from those closest to the business and potential for substantial returns.
