Director dealings: Burberry CEO splashes out £1.2m on company's shares
Marco Gobbetti, chief executive of iconic fashion house Burberry, upped his stake in the London-listed fashion house by 60,000 ordinary shares on Wednesday.
Gobbetti, who has held the reins at Burberry since he succeeded previous CEO Christopher Bailey back in July 2017, purchased the shares at an average price of 2,001.85p each for a total of £1.2m.
The news followed Burberry's announcement earlier in the month that it would buy back another £150m-worth of stock after the British luxury brand ended its financial year with more than £800m of net cash and reported profits ahead of expectations.
Gobbetti said he was "pleased" with the company's performance "as we begin to execute our strategy" of pushing the brand further upmarket.
As of 1545 BST, Burberry shares had collected 1.18% to 2,018p.
