Director and chief financial officer of Fiberweb Daniel Abrams has put his hand in his pocket and bought 70,000 shares in the fabrics producer.
Abrams paid £49,560 for the stake at 70.8p a share on the same day that the firm concluded negotiations with Brazilian spunbound fabrics producer Fitesa over the creation of a joint venture company.
Friday's purchase takes Abrams' stake to 316,000 and comes as Fiberweb shares notch up a new 12-month closing high of 69.25p each.
