A non-executive director at patent attorney Murgitroyd has offloaded more than £13,000 of shares.

A stock market filing yesterday showed Kenneth Chrystie sold 2000 shares at a price of 665 pence each on Thursday.

That reduced his stake in the AIM-listed Glasgow business to 6500 shares, or 0.07% of the issued share capital.

Earlier this week, Murgitroyd hailed strong sales growth in the US as it reported record half-year revenue of £19.2 million and profits of £2.28m.
