Mouchel Share Discussion Threads

[pikey01] 31/5/2012 22:28

It's quiet because nothing is happening (if you don't count the fat lady warming up). Big announcements in January then again in April; year-end in 2 months and promises to get the balance sheet sorted-out. No news on how that's to happen. No buyers snapping it up. Logica just sold will have an impact. Can see this at 1p by August.

Mouchel appoints Managing Director

for Mouchel Business Services division

Mouchel, the infrastructure and business services Group, has appointed Craig Apsey as Managing Director of its Business Services division effective 11 June, 2012.

Craig joins Mouchel from BT's Local, Regional and Devolved Government business where he held the posts of Chief Operating Officer and then Director of Major Deals. At BT he was responsible for the safe delivery of bespoke programmes to BT's business process outsourcing customers, the development of the associated knowledge and skills base, and the creation of new value-added services. Prior to this Craig spent nearly ten years working for the civil service in a number of posts at the Department of Social Security (now Department of Work and Pensions). During his time there Craig was responsible for Solutions Architecture and the rollout of a new network and equipment to the Contributions Agency.

In his new role Craig will initially build on the excellent work started by Interim Managing Director, Michael Gates, consolidating Mouchel's property and consultancy businesses, identifying and delivering best practice, developing the delivery model and implementing the transformation that Mouchel's clients require and expect.

Grant Rumbles, Chief Executive of Mouchel, said, "We are delighted to have Craig on board. With nearly three decades of experience working with local government organisations and as a civil servant in ICT, he is an ideal choice for this position. His recent senior roles with BT give him the knowledge and experience to play a vital part in Mouchel's transformation and future business success."

Hows Pikey? edit where is Pikey?

[pug151] 02/5/2012 10:28

11% on no news ????
sounds like they have found another way other than share dilution to me

[gisjob2] 01/5/2012 20:16

Wooster,

I haev already said I UNDERSTAND that cosolidation does not change the market cap, but this leads to other events that will.

You will get more selling pressure & . . .

If the company do decide to consolidate IMHO they will raise more capital at the same time by issueing more shares meaning dilution to holders,

then

convert the Group's net debt into convertible shares

But as I said good luck with it !

[wooster4] 01/5/2012 20:09

gisjob - i don't know anything about WYG. However, if a company consolidates its share capital, the value of the company remains unchanged. If the price drifts thereafter that is simply down to selling pressure (which would have existed with or without to consolidation).

[gisjob2] 01/5/2012 19:57

Wooster,

Feel free to comment on where you feel WYG went wrong with their consolidation and how this won't happen to MCHL

[gisjob2] 01/5/2012 19:55

Wooster ! I know

. but in reality every company that I have ever owned or watched that has consolidated their shares slide afterwards ! WYG is an example that I mentioned because it's in a similar market !.

It's true your share will be worth the same the day after the event, but what about 3 months after?.

One of the reasons a lot of company share prices may slide after consolidation might be because a number of them are basket cases who do it to tidy their register up! Incidently I work in the same industry as MCHL & WYG and did warn about the perils of this company and others at the end of last year !

If you want to hold after a consolidation good luck with it !

[wooster4] 01/5/2012 19:29

gisjob - a consolidation has not effect on the market value of a company whatsoever - end of!

[druinsky] 01/5/2012 19:24

when is consolidation

[gisjob2] 30/4/2012 13:34

Consolidation is terrible news for holders. Expect a drop afterwards. Check out WYG to see what can happen !

[druinsky] 30/4/2012 13:30

2p and might look tasty

[wooster4] 30/4/2012 13:22

red dog - nothing wrong with consolidation, that has no effect upon the value of your shareholding. dilution, another matter!
