In fact, the recent purchase by Nicola Foulston was the biggest purchase of RBG Holdings shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is UK£0.67. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future.
