Mega, you don't need inside info to do detailed analysis - the recently published accounts have all the info you need.
I don't know if the ex Director is still selling but he had started reducing his holding shortly before retirement. Shareholders were informed as all transactions by directors are reported. However, if i had just retired and had several million concentrated in 1 share holding, i would be looking to reduce my exposure because the risk is just too high.
Fact is, this is a small cap stock with limited volume of trades and so it doesn't take much to move the SP either way. A few people get nervous because of Brexit and whatever else keeps them up at night and before you know it, the SP is do2n 10%. Same applies to all small listed companies and if one has the confidence to stand by your own analysis then these periods just have to be ridden out.
