Tritax Big Box REIT Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when insider Mark Glenn Shaw bought UK£272k worth of shares at a price of UK£1.53 per share.

While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future.
