Director dealings: Oakley Capital director ups stake

Oakley Capital Investments revealed on Friday that non-executive director Laurence Blackall had acquired 100,000 ordinary shares in the London-listed mid-market private equity firm.

Blackall, who joined the group back in July 2008, purchased the shares on Thursday at an average price of 235p each, for a total value of £234,999.99.

Back in August, Oakley Capital agreed to acquire a majority stake in German consumer technology company Seven Miles, partnering with its founders, Tom Schröder and Valentin Schütt.

Oakley said its investment in Seven Miles, which offers a diverse range of gift card and employee incentive subscription products to both consumers and businesses, continued the group's "successful track record" of backing founder managers in consumer technology platforms.

As of 1620 BST, Oakley shares had dipped 0.85% to 232p.
