Senior independent director Francis Salway, the former Land Securities chief who joined the board in 2010, spent just over £50,000 on shares at a price of just over £40.
Last week, fellow non-executive Steve Barber bought 2,500 at £41 not long after Next's gloomy trading update sent the shares tumbling from the near-£50 at which they began the year and set a negative tone for UK non-food retail sector.
Full price sales were much weaker than the market was expecting and the company issued a cautious outlook for the coming year, leading to widespread downgraded forecasts for this year and beyond.
