(ShareCast News) - GB Group's finance and operations director Dave Wilson and his wife have sold around a quarter of their stake in the security and identity data group, not long after the outgoing chief executive also dumped a chunk of shares not long after they hit an all-time high in June.The Wilsons sold 104,132 shares at a price of 303p apiece, leaving them with a holding of just under 300,000 shares.Non-executive director Richard Linford also sold 34,363 shares on Tuesday at the same price, leaving him with a holding of 270,183.Shares in GB Group hit an all-time high just above 334p in early just and have hovered not far from that level since.Late last month CEO Richard Law sold £2.2m shares at a price of 293p apiece but pledged not to sell further shares in the near future.At the company's annual shareholder meeting earlier that week, the company said the process to identify and appoint Law's successor was "progressing well" and that the board hoped to announce a name before the end of September.GB also confirmed trading had been in-line with expectations in the year to date and that the online identity intelligence market continued to grow on the back of growing internet usage, cross-border ecommerce, online fraud and tougher compliance regulation for GB's clients.
