Director dealings: Vodafone director ups stake

Vodafone director Sanjiv Ahuja acquired 140,000 ordinary shares in the British telco provider on Monday.

Ahuja, who joined the firm back in November 2018, purchased the shares at an average price of 181.94p each, for a total value of £254,721.60.

Just last week, Ofcom published its latest league tables on complaints it receives about the UK’s major providers of telecoms and pay television services on Wednesday.

The regulator said the quarterly report revealed the number of complaints made from July to September last year, about providers with a market share over 1.5% in the home broadband, landline telephone, pay-monthly mobile and pay-TV markets.

For the first time, Vodafone met the benchmark for inclusion on broadband and landline, with Ofcom noting that the company was the most complained-about provider for both of those services.

As of 1620 GMT, Vodafone shares had slipped 1.45% to 136.82p.
