ALLISTER Langlands has spent nearly £100,000 increasing his stake in materials testing business Exova Group.
Mr Langlands, formerly the chief executive and chairman at Wood Group, has been the senior independent non-executive director on the board at Exova since its initial public offering in April this year.
A stock market filing revealed he purchased 50,000 shares in the Edinburgh company this week at £1.925 each, a total of £96,250. That increased his holding in Exova to 140,909 shares, which is worth around £266,000.
Separately, Goals Soccer Centres non-executive Philip Burks paid almost £240,000 for an additional 109,000 shares in the East Kilbride based five-a-side football business.
Mr Burks, who paid 220p per share, now has a holding of 372,478 shares.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
