(ShareCast News) - Tim Mason, the ex Tesco high flier who took over chief executive at Eagle Eye Solutions earlier this month, has bought his first shares in the AIM-listed producer of software to manage digital loyalty schemes.Mason, who joined as chairman in January but moved into the lead role as part of a strategic rejig to widen the focus internationally, snapped up more than £54,000 worth of shares at a price of 130.38p.Eagle Eye, which also numbers ex Tesco CEO Sir Terry Leahy as a non-executive director, last week unveiled preliminary results that showed a £1.8m loss before tax as group revenue increased 33% to £6.5m, with Mason hailing the winning of first 'tier one' grocers Sainsbury's in the UK and Loblaw in the US, following Asda the year before.As he said at the time: "I see significant strategic progress from Eagle Eye in the past year... the platform has been extended to support loyalty; all Asda stores have gone live showing the scalability and robustness of the platform; more brands are using the platform."I am confident there is significant opportunity for Eagle Eye and as the incoming CEO I look forward to helping the business become Better, Bigger, Faster. I am encouraged that this year's trading has started ahead of management's expectations."Mason, who was chief marketing officer, CEO of US arm Fresh & Easy and group deputy CEO during his 30 years at Tesco, is said to have been instrumental in launching Tesco's Clubcard loyalty card in conjunction with its Dunnhumby subsidiary.Top Director BuysHikma Pharmaceuticals (HIK)Director name: Al-Husry,AliAmount purchased: 50,000 @ 2,094.00pValue: £1,047,000.03Hikma Pharmaceuticals (HIK)Director name: Darwazah,MazenAmount purchased: 50,000 @ 2,094.00pValue: £1,047,000.03Hikma Pharmaceuticals (HIK)Director name: Darwazah,MazenAmount purchased: 50,000 @ 2,078.00pValue: £1,039,000.03Hikma Pharmaceuticals (HIK)Director name: Darwazah,SaidAmount purchased: 50,000 @ 2,078.00pValue: £1,039,000.03Hikma Pharmaceuticals (HIK)Director name: Al-Husry,AliAmount purchased: 50,000 @ 2,078.00pValue: £1,039,000.03Eagle Eye Solutions Group (EYE)Director name: Mason,Timothy J RAmount purchased: 41,764 @ 130.38pValue: £54,451.90Brewin Dolphin Holdings (BRW)Director name: Nicol ,David RichardsonAmount purchased: 10,000 @ 270.50pValue: £27,050.00Allergy Therapeutics (AGY)Director name: Wykeman,NicolasAmount purchased: 150,000 @ 17.75pValue: £26,625.00River And Mercantile Uk Micro Cap Investment Company Limited (RMMC)Director name: Clark,TrudiAmount purchased: 16,885 @ 118.45pValue: £20,000.28Big Yellow Group (BYG)Director name: Clark,TimAmount purchased: 1,963 @ 776.17pValue: £15,236.22Bezant Resources (BZT)Director name: Olivier,BernardAmount purchased: 560,000 @ 2.38pValue: £13,328.00Terra Capital (TCA)Director name: Bartlett ,Peter Amount purchased: 12,500 @ $0.85Value: $10,562.50Terra Capital (TCA)Director name: Bartlett ,Peter Amount purchased: 12,500 @ $0.85Value: $10,562.50Bezant Resources (BZT)Director name: Nealon,Edward F GAmount purchased: 420,000 @ 2.38pValue: £9,996.00Anglo American (AAL)Director name: Hampton,Philip RAmount purchased: 938 @ 937.00pValue: £8,789.06Bezant Resources (BZT)Director name: Kirby,EvanAmount purchased: 350,000 @ 2.38pValue: £8,330.00Bezant Resources (BZT)Director name: Read ,Laurence Amount purchased: 138,600 @ 2.38pValue: £3,298.68Anglo American (AAL)Director name: Ramatlapeng,MphuAmount purchased: 290 @ 937.00pValue: £2,717.30Record (REC)Director name: Cullen,SteveAmount purchased: 831 @ 27.05pValue: £224.79Top Director SellsUdg Healthcare Public Limited Company (UDG)Director name: Corbin,ChrisAmount sold: 90,849 @ 634.00pValue: £575,982.67Vectura Group (VEC)Director name: Phillips,Trevor Amount sold: 240,841 @ 139.10pValue: £335,009.84Norcros (NXR)Director name: Kelsall,NickAmount sold: 163,720 @ 154.50pValue: £252,947.39Walker Crips Group (WCW)Director name: Elliott,RobertAmount sold: 100,000 @ 46.50pValue: £46,500.00Kingfisher (KGF)Director name: Witts,KarenAmount sold: 12,652 @ 365.80pValue: £46,281.02Cls Holdings (CLI)Director name: Lundqvist,H O ThomasAmount sold: 911 @ 25.00pValue: £227.75
