Ex-Asos man Williams dips in on arrival at Rightmove

Date: Wednesday 19 Mar 2014

LONDON (ShareCast) - Peter Williams, a new non-executive director at property website Rightmove, has made a significant statement about his confidence in the company with a 99,463 pounds purchase of shares just over a month after his appointment.

Williams filled a similar independent role at online retailer Asos for eight years before leaving in December, having worked at Selfridges for 13 years previously as Chief Financial Officer and then Chief Executive Officer.

During his stint at Asos, Williams netted £1.7m in 2012 from a share sale at 2,125p and still holds 20,000 shares in the 5,864p-a-share company.
