Inmarsat deputy chairman John Rennocks has invested £94,000 in the satellite operator.
Rennocks acquired 14,600 shares at 646.5p each. Rennocks has been on the board since January 2005 but he did not own any shares prior to the purchase. This is because he sold the 43,104 shares he previously owned at 770.57p a share back on 18 May. That raised £332,000 so he has reinvested a fraction of those proceeds.
