Accesso Technology Group said Long Path Partners, a fund closely associated with non-executive director Brian Nelson, bought 150,000 shares between 5 and 7 November at an average price of 350p each.

The purchases lifted Long Path’s holding to 7.42 million shares, representing 19% of the AIM-listed company’s issued capital.

It followed a September update in which Accesso confirmed it remained on track to meet full-year targets after a stronger summer offset weaker trading in June, when extreme heat dented visitor numbers at theme parks and attractions using its ticketing and queuing technology.

Revenue for the first half of 2025 slipped slightly to $67.9m, while pre-tax profit rose to $1.9m, supported by solid cash generation and growth in professional services.

Chief executive Steve Brown said at the time that the group’s expanding AI-driven product range, including chat-based ordering within its Freedom and Passport platforms, was positioning the business for renewed growth.

ASA International meanwhile disclosed that independent non-executive director Hanny Kemna acquired 80,000 shares on 7 November at 149.75p each, for a total consideration of around £120,000.

The transaction followed a period of strong momentum for the microfinance lender, which in September reported a 37% year-on-year expansion in its loan portfolio to $541m and a near doubling of net profit to $26.8m for the first half of the year.

It resumed dividend growth and said at the time that it expected to beat consensus full-year profit forecasts, citing robust loan demand across Africa and Asia and improved asset quality, with non-performing loans down to just 2%.
