Like i've said before on numerous occasions this guy is complete embarrassment and out to make as much trouble as he can relying on his 23%..
You really don't need a degree in character analyse to see what's going on.

New Agreement for Nutech Training

Bglobal plc (AIM:BGBL), the leading provider of smart energy solutions and services to the UK energy market, is pleased to announce that one of its subsidiaries, Nutech Training, has entered into an agreement with Future Energy Solutions.

Nutech Training has signed a franchise agreement that will see Future Energy Solutions open a new training centre in the North East. The centre will operate under Nutech's accreditations which will allow it to provide dual fuel smart meter installation and other relevant training.

Future Energy Solutions has strong links in the North East with energy suppliers, local authorities and housing associations and the signing of the franchise agreement will facilitate Future Energy Solutions in upskilling engineers from those organisations ahead of the mass rollout of smart meters. As mentioned by Bglobal in previous statements, the timing of the rollout has been subject to delays and remains unclear, but energy suppliers recognise that they need to prepare for the rollout, and training their engineers is a key element of that preparation.

Over the next decade, thousands of skilled workers will be needed in the field to meet the Government's plans for a national roll-out of smart meters. Nutech has obtained accreditations from, amongst others, The National Skills Academy for Power ("NSAP") and BPEC and is one of only four institutions in the UK that is approved by NSAP for the provision of dual fuel smart meter installation training. It is therefore well placed to capitalise on the training opportunities that will arise over the coming years.

Neil Turner, managing director of Nutech Training, said: "There is still a massive shortage of qualified smart metering engineers needed to support the Government's plans. Even though the national roll-out has been delayed, this agreement with Future Energy Solutions provides an opportunity for the market to 'catch up' on the training needed. We are now working to replicate this franchise agreement with other training providers across the UK."

Tim Cantle-Jones, managing director of Future Energy Solutions, said: "We're very excited to be working with Nutech Training and launching our smart meter training academy in the North East. We're confident that the partnership with Nutech will help us to quickly grow and develop our capability and deliver the skills that are needed as part of the smart metering roll-out."

Tim Jackson-Smith, CEO of Bglobal plc, said: "This recent development is welcome news for the Group. The launch of the Nutech Training franchise is a key milestone for the company and demonstrates the ability of Nutech to expand its capability across the UK without incurring significant one-off establishment costs. The agreement shows how we are continuing to develop and expand different areas of the Bglobal business whilst being mindful of the impact on our return on capital deployed."

I'm sure Bglobal got a door step report out of this but KPMG's headline recommendations could have been written by a 5 year old:

"These actions include taking significant cost out of Bglobal's head office, re-focusing the business on its customers and implementing strict cash management procedures."

I see they plan to sell the meter business and focus on software. So no takeover, but better cash management and a good business model.


The best outcome I think for investors, including PK - who might benefit from the fruits of this.

[hibberts] 08/11/2013 14:49

I notice 25k sells going through is this PK trying
to keep the share price down?

[vatteton] 06/11/2013 17:25

Sorry double post guys. i can't be 100% all of the time..

[vatteton] 06/11/2013 16:35

PK is finished, he has been voted down, in my book he has no right to
dictate anything...
I hope the salary has been adjusted acordinatly ??
If he can raise the backing he may make a bid for the company..
What do you think.. Mr Dell did it.

I guess PK is bringing this EGM because of his concern that there will be a quick sale. If that is the case, then at the current price there could be a quick 50 to 100 % profit. If he manages to get the named people removed (which i doubt) there will be a longer term profit.

All in my opinion - dyor.

[vatteton] 05/11/2013 18:22

20p will do me!!!

[septimus quaid] 05/11/2013 17:43

I was at this year's AGM and it was a fairly unpleasant experience. PK holds a lot of stock, the only solution I can see is a complete buy out/takeover.

[vatteton] 05/11/2013 16:43

Thanks for your news link (SQ)most enlightning...
This stock has become illiquid due to the fact nothing is going anywhere
untill November 22nd..
How many more Egm's !!!!
Like iv'e said PK isn't going without a fight...

A DARWEN company is pioneering the way holiday parks and caravan sites will manage their energy consumption.

Bglobal, in Commercial Road, which manufactures smart meters and other energy-saving software, has recently demonstrated its new ZigBee smart metering system.

A two-month project was carried out at a caravan park in the south of England, trialling the use of the ZigBee radio system, collecting data from smart meters across the site.

During the demonstration, Bglobal built a network of meters, repeaters and receivers, sending messages around physical obstacles, such as trees and buildings, which usually limit the signals for transferring data.

The company now intends to roll the equipment out across the caravan site and holiday park sector, with other similar industries such as commercial landlords with multiple tenants earmarked as part of an ambitious business development strategy.

John Cowburn, chief engineer at Bglobal, said: "This is the first time the technology has been used to collect smart meter readings in this way.

"The pioneering trial has proved that by using this technology, a physical line of sight is not necessary to collect data, opening up a number of potential benefits for owners of holiday park and caravan sites."

Hmm, no share-trades since cop on Wednesday, MMs dropped price to "encourage" activity?

[weatherman] 24/10/2013 21:34

The announcement of the strategic review is getting closer. Hopefully the decision will be to run bgbl as a going concern and not seek an exit at a quick profit. With trading ahead of expectations and lots of opportunities in this sector there is reason to keep going.

Dismissal of Nick Kennedy
Further to the announcement on 15 August 2013 that the Board of Bglobal plc was investigating the conduct of Nick Kennedy (Chief Financial Officer), the Board announces that the investigation has concluded and Mr Kennedy has been dismissed from office with immediate effect.
No comment......

Local paper report:

[vatteton] 16/10/2013 17:15

weatherman
Yes i agree with you PK with 23.6% was never going to just roll over, he's going to be a big thorn, as i mentioned in an earler post..
It must be a most happy and friendly environment to be working in...

[weatherman] 16/10/2013 16:51

Yes, KPMG may have released a review to management which has sparked the present activity. PK may wish to prevent a fire sale by this latest call.

more goings on in the big room !!!!

[weatherman] 01/10/2013 14:14

[weatherman] 30/9/2013 16:58

Trading ahead of expectations....some good news...

[vatteton] 23/9/2013 17:57
