MacDonald in fresh swoop on Helius

SCOTTISH entrepreneur Angus MacDonald has upped his stake in renewable energy company Helius for the second time this week.

MacDonald spent 230,000 on shares in the Aim-quoted company which is building a biomass plant at the Rothes distillery on Speyside. He now owns just under 25 per cent of the company to which he has also provided an unsecured loan of 302,300.
