Dillistone MD buys in after update

Dillistone's managing director Jason Starr bought into the recruitment software supplier on the back of an upbeat trading statement yesterday, the firm revealed today.

He bought 10,000 shares, paying 125p a time or a total of £12,550, and now has about 1.17m shares or 21.7% of the company.

Dillistone recovered some of last week's sharp dive after it said full year profit will at least match forecasts, and maybe even beat them.
