LONDON (ShareCast) - The chairman of Michael Page International on Friday purchased 44,987 shares in the group, growing his stake in the recruitment company above 138,000 shares.
Robin Buchanan paid 442.3p a piece, spending a total of £198,978.

Looking ahead, the group said it expects to perform in line with market expectations, but said that adverse forex movements continued to have an impact on the company's results at reported rates.
