Any time now on a 12-18 month time frame. Lock them up in the bottom draw.

Bringing construction planning to life

At what price are these a buy? I am interested.

Having been away for a few days, I missed yesterday's announcement of a female non-exec appointment at Eleco; welcome aboard Serena Lang:

[ansc] 02/12/2014 16:00

A feather in Asta Powerproject's cap, shouldn't do any harm!:

[rathkum] 26/11/2014 19:37

No reason to panic? 2x481,927 late trades @ 17.5p

[lgw500] 25/11/2014 13:27

It would make so much difference if the management team of small companies made it clear to existing investors what to expect in terms of information flow. If Eleco made a pre-Christmas trading update, it should state that it does not expect to make any significant announcements until the prelims are produced. This might encourage holders to not sell their shares out of boredom or nervousness!

[rathkum] 21/11/2014 08:21

Sadly the cruel nature of the current markets brings out forced sellers prepared to take any bid price offered by scrupulous market makers.

[ansc] 19/11/2014 16:53

As I wrote yesterday ..... lol!

Abandon ship!!

[ansc] 18/11/2014 20:22

Indicative price at the close, 19.5/20.00p, hasn't been that close for quite some time. Are the Mingy Machs a tad short?

Could it soon be a case of 'Thar she blows!'?

[ansc] 05/11/2014 17:29

Hardman's November monthly publication sounding much more positive on the outlook for Eleco.

[ansc] 04/11/2014 09:28

Yet another positive (and cost-saving with it) change:

ELECO plc ("ELECO")- 04 November 2014

Reorganisation of ELECO's Swedish software and service operations

Anders Karlsson appointed Managing Director of Consultec Byggprogram AB

ELECO announces the reorganisation of its Swedish software and service businesses to align them more closely with the requirements of their customers. The reorganisation will involve the consolidation of Consultec's software businesses into Consultec Byggprogram AB, and its architectural and construction service businesses into Consultec Arkitekter & Konstruktörer AB. The proposed realignment will result in improved co-ordination, flexibility and efficiency by enabling colleagues in similar disciplines to work more closely together.

Anders Karlsson has been appointed Managing Director of Consultec Byggprogram AB, and Allan Forslund will continue as Managing Director of Consultec Arkitekter & Konstruktörer AB. Anders Karlsson was formerly Managing Director of Consultec Byggprogram between 2005 and 2010.

John Ketteley, Executive Chairman of ELECO commented, "As a consequence of Anders Karlsson's earlier successful time with Consultec Byggprogram, he brings with him a considerable in-depth knowledge of the business which will again benefit from his experience in sales and marketing, as well as from his strong analytical and strategic approach to business. I am delighted that he has agreed to join us once more as a key member of our management team and that Allan Forslund, as Managing Director of Consultec Arkitekter & Konstruktörer's expanded services business, will also continue as a key member of the management team."

Anders Karlsson, added, "My appointment is both a happy reunion and an exciting new beginning. With Consultec's new clarity of focus based on two divisions, software and services, I believe we will deliver greater benefit to our customers and will better and more firmly position ourselves as leaders in our chosen markets."

With just two trades marked on Friday - one buy, one sale - indicating a spread of 11.4%, the Mingy Machs are making certain they're on a sure-fire winner. I think you should be in with a good chance to buy @ 19p (just a little patience needed) but, with my holding already c. 1%, I'm having to resist a price which looks extremely tempting.

With the Asta Powerproject BIM safely launched (and has been well received by all accounts), am looking forward to the release of the latest version of Arcon Next Generation 3D architectural visualisation software which should be happening in the not-too-distant future according to Eleco's Interim statement.

Onwards and eventually upwards hopefully.

[rathkum] 31/10/2014 10:17

And the market responds "so what, show us the money".

Ok, fair enough. See if I can pick up some at @19p.

[ansc] 30/10/2014 19:38

Another positive move:

ELECO announces the general availability of its Asta Powerproject® BIM and ELECO BIMCloud® solutions after rigorous testing:

[ansc] 23/10/2014 17:00

As the proverbial saying goes 'The world is Asta's oyster' (or something like that!).

Asta Powerproject workshop in Thailand

[ansc] 16/10/2014 16:51

Good find young man. I particularly liked:

[What does 2015 and beyond hold for Asta Development within the BIM sector? In future, Asta will release new products from parent company ELECO within the UK including a market-leading 4D CAD system and a cost estimation system, both of which will be integrated with Asta Powerproject BIM. Always tailoring to the needs of their customers and listening to consumer feedback, it is obvious that whatever changes and updates clientele require, Asta will no doubt already be a step ahead with a fantastic plan in place.]

[rathkum] 16/10/2014 15:01

In all the doom and gloom, there is always Eleco.

[lgw500] 29/9/2014 16:21

Numbers are OK but where is a new FD and some flesh in the statement? It is not going to set the markets wild!

[ansc] 29/9/2014 14:55

The new-look Eleco has certainly risen from the ashes of the old format, Mr P, so let's hope that this one lives ...... in my case, I don't need 500 years, 10 would do me nicely!

[mrpotatohead] 29/9/2014 14:07

yes ansc - it looks like the phoenix could be ready to fly

[ansc] 29/9/2014 09:27

Eleco's Interim figures much as expected and the chairman's 'OUTLOOK' statement confirms my long-held belief that there is blue sky ahead for company profits and shareholders (in spite of what certain doomsters might want us to think):

[chairman's OUTLOOK]

"The pressures of having to deal with the restructuring and refinancing are now behind us and ELECO has emerged as a profitable specialist provider of software and technology to the construction industry in the UK, in Germany and in Sweden, where its development teams and operational centres of excellence are located. Sentiment in our market in the UK continues to improve and our German and Swedish colleagues have also recently reported some improvement in sentiment in their respective markets.

Despite the difficulties that confronted the Group in the past few years, our software interests have been consistently profitable and, following the successful restructuring and refinancing of the Group earlier this year plus the positive response we received from our bankers, Barclays Bank, together with support from our shareholders, customers and employees, I believe that ELECO is now well placed to realise its full potential."
