Share prices sported useful gains on some of the lowest turnover of the year as investors struggled back to work on the first day of trading after the Christmas festivities.

Aim-listed EG Solutions continued to rally with a rise of 2p to 79½p. Chief executive Elizabeth Gooch, chairman Rodney Baker-Bates and finance director David Blain have all chosen to take advantage of last week's sharp fall in the price on the back of a profits warning to buy shares in the company.

Gooch has bought 131,578 shares at 76p, raising her holding to 7.74m, or 54.21% of the total in issue. Baker-Bates bought 68,000 at 73p and owns 475,000, or 3.32%, and Blain paid 76p for 6578, or less than 1% the company.
