Interserve Share Discussion Threads

Glyn A. Barker - I wonder if they have managed to reduce the new chairman's fee of £150,000 for attending 12 meetings and the AGM I suppose. Is that value for money ?

To put into context, that's the annual salary of 20 part time cleaners on the new national living wage.

What do you mean by bad news

[philo124] 13/11/2015 08:06

Frustrated that they didnt quantify earnings impact of the bad news. Dont think u can work it easily from last years annual report...not helpful.

Net neutral on the TS I'd say?

[edmundshaw] 11/11/2015 16:04

Living wage has probably depressed the price here in the shorter term. I can wait. And add if necessary.

Thanks a bundle George.

Just bought Textron while I patiently lose profits here.

[philo124] 11/11/2015 12:48

Good luck! If you had bought NIKE you wouldnt need any.

PhilO, thanks for reminding me about CLLN. I bought some today. Wish me luck! :-)

[philo124] 10/11/2015 19:13

Hard to forget the current price and that of CLLN.

That is a good point , though the more risky venture would be if they want to run them as well.
The market however does not seem to be impressed. Hold and forget.

The news that nine new prisons are to be built could well be a windfall for Interserve. They usually get a share of such projects.

[edmundshaw] 21/10/2015 10:55

A spokesperson for the company [Interserve] said: “A letter was recently sent to the FCO, signed by a number of cleaners, regarding levels of pay. No disciplinary action has been taken against these employees and none will be.” - See more at:

I see the story made channel4 news tonight.



Its a sad day when this company can't pay its cleaners the most basic living wage while the directors take away millions between them.

When bidding for these contracts in future they need to get the message across.

I dont know the facts but there is usually another side to a story like this...

Whatever the rights and wrongs of this, there is no way a workers leader (official or otherwise) can be singled out for redundancy.

[joe say] 19/10/2015 13:36

BB - spot on - despicable behaviour and as the juggler says - hollow words

[the juggler] 19/10/2015 13:13

BertieBru, yes very poor and does not leave them looking very shiny. Laughable given how much they go on about equality, diversity and sustainability. - words belied by their actions it would appear.

[bertiebru] 19/10/2015 00:20

Must say I'm pretty disgusted with Interserve's treatment of the cleaners who asked for an interview with Philip Hammond to discuss the effect of London costs on their pay. They seem to have singled out the leader for redundency. May be clever, but leaves a nasty taste in the mouth

[wad collector] 07/10/2015 08:43

620 limit set for my trading stake ; 8% in 2 months will do me. Happy to hold the rest.

[wad collector] 01/10/2015 08:47

Hold onto your hats , the share price is going vertical for a bit. Vertically upwards for a change.

[salpara111] 22/9/2015 09:06

I still like the business but it is clear that its risk profile has increased over the last couple of years and as such I would need a bigger risk premium to hold them.
I will keep them on my monitor and if they ease back to the £5 line I would look to take a stake again.

This was a good Company until last year. When shareholder value became less than Intangibles - storing up trouble. No longer in my portfolio.

[wad collector] 17/9/2015 20:43

The share price never seems to have followed much logic in the last few yrs. Mostly I just ignore it and wait for opportunities . Today looks like one but I am fully invested.
