There is insufficient company mass to make a trading up date relevant

[chrisdgb] 03/4/2014 09:59

I see some volume has been going through in recent days, no one seems to care but a decent trading update could change things...

[solarno lopez] 26/3/2014 15:18

The company does not have critical mass and will go nowhere and that has been obvious for some considerable time.

It does not say a lot, but there was a pick up in volume yesterday..trading update would be useful..

Not enough investor interest for this shell

watching and waiting

Thanks for the comments, although it does not sound like you are too enamoured..!!

Let us hope in the coming months we get a decent update on trading and that the new CEO sets out his stall on the future strategic direction..

the company is in market that has no bulk and whilst next year they will some up lift from the General election that is a 5 year one off.

the company lacks direction into a sustainable large market and the directors are simply taking their fees for no real effort

[chrisdgb] 18/3/2014 15:11

Meant to say, it would be interesting to hear other holders views..

The next couple of years promise to be busy on the political front, so should help this operationally geared recovery play...........

I also struggle to think, given his background, that Lord Ashcroft would leave this lying at such low levels..

wow 2 people own shares in DODs

[solarno lopez] 12/3/2014 15:59

I will mount a single crusade

[solarno lopez] 07/3/2014 09:07

Not with my size of holding I would prefer they found something useful for the company

[4124] 07/3/2014 09:05

He is a nice guy - but not a CEO. Ashcroft is still running this - as a Private Company. it is a listed company in name only.... the sooner it is taken off the market the better.

Shame

[solarno lopez] 07/3/2014 08:41

The fact that they have appointed a new guy makes not one jot of difference in fact its a bit like moving the deck chairs around on the Titanic

The company CANNOT grow to any meaningful size in its area of operation so what is it going to do....................shuffle the deck chairs

[solarno lopez] 26/11/2013 10:53

They never answer such questions its much too embarrassing

[4124] 26/11/2013 10:49

What is more concerning (even more) is the shambles on the Board. The new Chairman - then CEO has now left. For "personal" reasons - but still very strange. The ex CEO (now FD) is not promoted again - instead someone from within who has never even been on the Board and is now a plc CEO.

And Andy Wilson (Lord Ashcroft's man) is back as Chairman - presumably not independent.

What is going on ?

Had a quick look...good to see revenue going up so well and also that they have started to get from revenues from the Capita training contract; also increase in margins.
And yet all we have to show for it is a barely positive overall EBITDA..also note that the EBITDA for the 6 months ending Sept 13 from the operating side was £400k(and this included all the conference seasons) compared to £1.5m for the nine months to 313...no apparent reason for such a drop.
