Hurst, who was named as chairman back in March, purchased the shares on Friday at an average price of 596.0p each, for a total value of £149,000.

The shares were sold at 580.0p each, raising gross proceeds of around £63.8m. Following completion of the placing, Vitruvian will hold just over 20.8m ordinary shares in aggregate, making an approximate 2.99% stake in the firm.
