Andrew Blurton, the chairman of machine gun maker Manroy, has been buying again, spending £55,000 on shares.

The company announced today that he bought another 50,000 shares, paying 105p a time and bringing his total stake to 345,000, or 2.7% of the company. The latest buy comes after purchases totalling 35,000 shares announced last week.

Manroy supplies the UK Army. In January it announced that it had signed a spare parts contract with an unnamed Middle East government.
