Burberry non-executive Stephanie George has bought £59,500 worth of shares in the luxury clothing company.

George bought 5,000 shares at 1189.99p each. That price is just short of the 12 month high.

This purchase follows the acquisition of 6,300 shares at 798.773p a share last July. That cost £10,000. George owns 15,000 shares.

In January, Burberry said that strong demand for outdoor coats and other luxury accessories meant that profits were set to hit the top end of forecasts this year. Sales rose by 27% to £480m in the third quarter.
