Director dealings: Foxtons chair invests, FW Thorpe non-exec sells

Estate agency Foxtons was among the list of director buys on Thursday, after its chairman spent more than £12k on the company’s shares.

The London-listed firm said Nigel Rich bought 30,113 shares on Thursday, at a price of 41.3p each, spending a total of £12.436.67.

Rich was appointed chairman of the embattled London-focussed agency in November, replacing the long-serving Ian Barlow who had faced criticisms over salaries and dividends.

On the selling side, FW Thorpe disclosed a sale made by a non-executive director worth more than £25k.

The AIM-traded company said Antony Cooper sold 5,500 shares on Wednesday, at a price of 455p each, earning him a total of £25,025.00.

Following the sale, Thorpe said Cooper's interest in the company, including his connected persons' interests, was 166,107 shares, representing 0.14% of its issued capital.
