LONDON (ShareCast) - Robert Ware, a non-executive director at Tarsus, has used the recent dip in the media group's share price to top up his stake.

The business-to-business company, which works in the exhibitions, conferences, education, publishing and online media sectors, said that Ware purchased 5,750 shares at a price of 209p each on Thursday.

The transaction came after the stock fell to a four-month low of 205.25p on Wednesday.

The £12,018 deal lifted his stake to 301,585 shares, equal to a 0.3% holding.

Ware, who has been with the company since 2000, is currently the chief executive of AIM-listed investment firm Conygar.

Tarsus shares have fallen steadily since its half-year report on 30 July despite headline results broadly beating analysts' estimates, with like-for-like revenues up 9%.

Numis Securities said interim numbers beat its own forecasts, but estimates for the full year would likely be cut due to currency movements, in particular a strong pound against the dollar.
