Edward Strachan, an executive director of exhibitions organiser ITE, has raised £6.75m by selling more than half of his shareholding. Strachan has sold 3m shares at 225p each. The shares were owned by Kyzyl Tan Consultants, where Strachan is the majority shareholder. Strachan still owns 2.675m shares. Strachan has been with ITE since 1993 and he has been involved in starting up and running its Russian and CIS businesses. The disposal comes on the day that ITE bought Moscow-based International Exhibition Company CJSC (MVK) for €33m cash.Top Director BuysModern Water (MWG) Director name: Mr Robert Clarke Amount purchased: 150,000 @ 62.75p Value: £94,125Imperial Tobacco Group (IMT) Director name: Ms Alison CooperAmount purchased: 3,624 @ 1,919.82p Value: £69,574Imperial Tobacco Group (IMT) Director name: Mr Robert DyrbusAmount purchased: 3,097 @ 1,919.82p Value: £59,457Collins Stewart (CLST) Director name: Mr Nicholas (Nick) PageAmount purchased: 62,000 @ 80.50p Value: £49,910Imperial Tobacco Group (IMT) Director name: Mr Graham BlashillAmount purchased: 2,262 @ 1,919.82p Value: £43,426Aegis Group (AGS) Director name: Dr Martin ReadAmount purchased: 15,000 @ 139.80p Value: £20,970Young & Co's Brewery 'A' Shares (YNGA) Director name: Mr David PageAmount purchased: 3,278 @ 610.00p Value: £19,996Aegis Group (AGS) Director name: Mr John BradyAmount purchased: 10,000 @ 138.97p Value: £13,897Imperial Tobacco Group (IMT) Director name: Mr Matthew PhillipsAmount purchased: 640 @ 1,919.82p Value: £12,287Roeford Properties (ROE) Director name: Mr Michael Gerard DonovanAmount purchased: 500,000 @ 2.12p Value: £10,600Top Director SellsITE Group (ITE) Director name: Mr Edward StrachanAmount sold: 3,000,000 @ 225.00p Value: £6,750,000Imperial Tobacco Group (IMT) Director name: Mr Robert DyrbusAmount sold: 27,843 @ 1,919.82p Value: £534,535Medilink-Global UK Ltd.
