The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Accrol Group Holdings

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Executive Chairman Daniel Wright bought UK£196k worth of shares at a price of UK£0.20 per share. Even though the purchase was made at a significantly lower price than the recent price (UK£0.28), we still think insider buying is a positive. Because it occurred at a lower valuation, it doesn't tell us much about whether insiders might find today's price attractive.
