Thanks again Philanderer, been somewhat distracted this week so missed the Questor write up.
Focus on margins have always been paramount with Sunlight, now its paying off.
A few years on and the move into the Nordic region is looking a real masterstroke.

Explains early surge: soon back to reality with rest of market

from UK Analyst friday
Seymour Pierce upgraded its stance on Berendsen (BRSN) from "add" to buy", and setting a 545p price target as talks with management reinforced the broker's view that the support services group has a solid platform for growth. The firm boasts both geographical and sector diversification, which limits downside risk, while still offering good growth opportunities, believes Seymour Pierce. Trading on a prospective earnings multiple of 9.3 times and offering a 5% dividend yield, the shares are deemed as an attractive prospect.

Clean Up With This Steady 4.6% Dividend

A solid business protected from overseas competition.

If you're looking for a business that doesn't rely upon high technology, won't have to reinvent itself every few years and is well insulated from overseas competition, one company that should be on your radar is the FTSE 250 European textile services specialist Berendsen (LSE: BRSN), which changed its name from Davis Service Group in January 2011.

Berendsen provides services to a wide variety of businesses that prefer to outsource their laundry, uniform provision and washroom maintenance to someone else. It has increase its dividend by just over 5% per annum in the last five years and, at the current price of 510p, its shares sit on a relatively modest prospective price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 10.1 where they yield 4.6%, which should be of interest to income-seeking investors.
