Associated British Foods' chairman Charles Sinclair has spent nearly £50,000 buying shares in the ingredients firm and clothes retailer.
He bought 6,740 shares in the company, which makes sugar and other ingredients and owns the budget fashion chain Primark, paying 735.5p a time.
Sinclair became chairman of ABF in October, soon after retiring from the board of newspaper group Daily Mail and General Trust, where he was chief executive for nearly 20 years.
