Hussain paid 1,004p for each share, valuing the transaction at a total of £150,600.

Gustavsson then sold the 30,000 shares on London's market, at a price of 2,310p apiece, giving the sale on 31 August a value of £693,000.

At 1317 BST, shares in Hiscox were up 0.75% at 1,005p, while those in Coca-Cola HBC were 0.66% weaker at 2,263p.
