18/8/2008 23:46 | From the interims Current trading and future outlook The business is continuing to develop across all its divisions and now that the integration of the electro-technical business units into one cohesive body is taking shape I anticipate significant organic growth from this side of the business. We have already generated significant income from the Data Protection Suite and there have been a number of exciting opportunities for developing new business by the improved ability to offer a total security solution package for potential clients, especially on larger tenders. The security personnel division is progressing strongly. The major challenge for this division since 1 October has been the increase in statutory holiday entitlement from 4 weeks to 4.8 weeks, this has an impact on staff resources as additional staff will need to be recruited to cover a 20% increase in holiday. In addition to our investment in ISO 14001 and Investors In People accreditations, we have been developing a number of initiatives which have increased our involvement with the security and wider community. We have been developing an initiative with the City of London Mounted Police, which increases their profile within local communities to try and build respect for the law and the police with younger members of the community. Perhaps the most exciting initiative is the SectorGuard Anglo American Exchange programme, which is open to all members of the UK security profession and aims to raise standards within the sector by facilitating an exchange programme between UK and US based security operatives, sharing knowledge and procedures. I am confident that the investment made over the past 18 months will lead to increased business across all our divisions. Brand awareness has been increased as a result of both our marketing and business development efforts, this in turn is generating new business opportunities. We are currently exploring a number of substantial acquisition opportunities in the security personnel sector, which we hope to update shareholders on in the near future. Following successful completion, we would then anticipate focusing our energies on building the business organically. | knowing | |
18/8/2008 23:19 | Pre-Close Trading Update (Sectorguard) RNS Number:9356P SectorGuard PLC 12 March 2008 SectorGuard Plc / Ticker: SGD / Index: AIM / Sector: Support Services 12 March 2008 SectorGuard Plc ('SectorGuard' or 'the Company') Pre-Close Trading Statement SectorGuard Plc, the AIM listed total security solutions group, is pleased to announce a pre-close trading update for the year ended 31 March 2007. As highlighted in the interims, SectorGuard has grown its turnover year on year since 1998 and this trend is expected to continue. The Company has invested significantly in expansion initiatives, such as increased marketing, which are now paying dividends in the form of strong current trading and future pipeline. The acquisitions made over the last two years have been integrated successfully, widening the geographic reach of the business and contributing to the Company's financial performance. During the current period, the Company has won a number of new contracts across its four key divisions, the largest being a manned guarding contract with Goldsmiths College, University of London, which further strengthens its position in the education sector. It also renewed its service agreement with JD Sports for the maintenance of CCTV and intruder alarm systems and was awarded security service contracts with clients as diverse as BioPark Hertfordshire, Exxon Mobil, Centrepoint and One Housing Group. As well as winning new contracts, the Company has further expanded its service offering and, during the year, Baroness Ruth Henig, chairman of the Security Industry Authority, opened SectorGuard's Data Protection Suite. This facility allows the Company to act as data co-ordinator for its clients and assists them in meeting the requirements of the Data Protection Act. In addition, the Company is pushing the boundaries of excellence having won various key accreditations as well as renewing its existing accreditations. SectorGuard was re-awarded its Approved Contractor Scheme ("ACS") status for the private security industry, further improving on its scoring against the ACS quality benchmarks and has achieved Investors in People accreditation. It is also aiming to be one of the first security service providers to be accredited with ISO 14001, Environmental Management Systems. This makes a powerful statement about the Company's environmental credentials, which the directors believe will increase access to new customers and business partners and will be reflected in a stronger and more sustainable business. Furthermore, SectorGuard was named as a 'Best Practice Champion' by the Institute of Association Management, having started an Anglo-American exchange programme for security officers from the UK and the USA to share best practice in professional methods, training and management between the two countries. SectorGuard CEO David Marks said: "We have put in a strong trading performance and I look forward to delivering our results, which should reflect the progress we have made and should exceed market expectations. The UK market demand for all security products is growing rapidly driven by the threat of terrorism and rising levels of crime and disorder. SectorGuard, with its broad range of security services, is ideally positioned to take advantage of this growth as highlighted by its recent contract wins. Our initiatives put in place last year are now bearing fruit and we are positive about 2008 and beyond." | knowing | |

18/8/2008 15:18 | Must admit that this does look interesting again at this level. | knowing | |
18/8/2008 11:17 | Decided to pick up a few of these in my SIPP as they have been hammered for no apparent reason and todays price of 1.75 seems an ideal price to start to build a holding with. | trygve | |
18/8/2008 10:55 | the directors bought to give sgd additional working capital - the 2p price paid will be a bargain IF the march 08 statements do confirm that tha results are indeed better than the market expects - i await the results sitting on a considerable loss with the current quote of 1.25 - 1.75 | only1buster | |
11/8/2008 08:10 | Dont forget Marks bought bucket loads of shares in the last few weeks amounting to some £80k which is a hell of a lot for a small company like SGD below from statement SectorGuard, with its broad range of security services, is ideally positioned to take advantage of this growth as highlighted by its recent contract wins. Our initiatives put in place last year are now bearing fruit and we are positive about 2008 and beyond." | squiresquire | |

06/8/2008 13:49 | until recently you could not get a quote online for more than 100000 - iMOP there are plenty of ex manguard holders waiting to unload - hope that sgd have not paid well over the odds for manguard - the results when eventually released will tell all - if cash reseves are below expectations we will not be seeing an divi | only1buster | |
05/8/2008 19:08 | Well I bought 100k today @ i.45p. Not a great amount but worth a gamble> good luck | eugene1234 | |
05/8/2008 15:54 | only1buster - 5 Aug'08 - 11:12 - 1547 of 1548 big sellers about - quote for 500k - 1.68p Big sellers ! That is only £8,400 worth - hardly a big seller. | caledoniaman1 | |
05/8/2008 12:55 | thought about buying, could be a good opportunity but bothered by a couple of things, mostly Manguard which doesn't look wonderful to my eyes. Comment about building up cash reserves is ahem, interesting. Presumably need to if they just spent 3.5M cash (+shares). wonder how big the intangibles will be now as a % of net assets. Was looking okay before the aquisition & I'd certainly be buying at this price if it hadn't happened. | jhan66 | |
05/8/2008 11:12 | big sellers about - quote for 500k - 1.68p | only1buster | |
05/8/2008 11:05 | sgd down again today - to a new low - what is going on - time to get the prayer mats out ? | only1buster | |
04/8/2008 08:12 | Howdy Et cetera Be careful I was told your tip was about to go bust.... | squiresquire | |
03/8/2008 16:47 | guys, i spoke to the CEO last week. i feel confident that things are good for the future. he / they are building up cash reserves which make them less vulnerable / dependant on external funding. he also pointed out that the current market cap represents less than the cost of the recent aquisition of man guard, therefore that puts the value of the main company at less than zero. miles of upside here and it has the clear potential to multi bag in the next month or so imho. | caledoniaman1 | |
01/8/2008 23:24 | got the paperwork for the AGM during the week Surprised theirs been no rns about it | lecks17 | |
01/8/2008 22:55 | lecks I can confirm that, results should be 3rd or 4th week Aug, this due to the new company accounts being merged for audit and directors on holiday who cannot sign accounts off until they return late August, I spoke briefly to company this afternoon. | squiresquire | |
01/8/2008 15:59 | results are delayed because accounting period has changed the AGM will be on 15th | lecks17 | |
01/8/2008 09:25 | results not out on time (july 31st) hope that its not bad news for holders - share price graph is not looking good - white night required ? - i hope my fears are unfounded | only1buster | |
13/6/2008 07:50 | Caledonian Cheers for that, makes sense. | squiresquire | |
12/6/2008 19:28 | spoke to the chairman today. he called me back from his mobile when driving. interim results will not be out until towards the end of July in oder to ensure that they include the audited results of the new subsiduary companies acquired. this is necessary to meet new regulatory rules on the presentation / format of accountancy results. so put it in the diary for mid to late July. i agree, i think they are in the right sector and i think market conditions will have improved sufficiently by then to help give the share price a boost on the back of the results. IMHO | caledoniaman1 |
