Deena Mattar, who is stepping down as finance director of building and civil engineering group Kier in November, has sold shares for the third time in the past month.
To be fair, it is a member of her family selling the shares. Her husband John Dodds was chief executive of Kier until March. The latest disposal is of 7,500 shares for £12.24 each. That raised £91,800 and leaves her with 325,437 shares.
The two previous sales raised just over £605,000 at slightly lower share prices. This means that nearly £700,000 has been raised from share sales in the past month.
