To buy these at less than £1 is good value I reckon in twelve months time they will be nearer £2 so just bought a few.

Energy saving -Insulation-Improving properties-new build will all help and with winter approaching looks good - providing we dont get 10ft snow in Jan/Feb

Director doubles his holding this week with a 30K buy and the market still doesn't take the hint.

These were trading @ £12 nearly in 2007.

All the builders flying too.

SHI is becoming increasingly lean and within a couple of years could be in a net cash position.A slow recovery is underway which will continue to enhance the quality of the company's earnings.All this is likely to attract predators particularly of the hedge fund variety.In summary I see little downside and up to 100% upside.There is of course a small yield whilst you're waiting.

Horrible trading statement today, and yes they did mention the weather. :)

Still seems odd that there is no mention of like-for-like sales. They seemed quite keen on mentionining it when they were closing branches, but now they've started opening a few they've gone strangely silent.

I can't fathom why the shares are worth any more than the 75p per share they raised in the placing. They've done a good job of reducing debt, but prospects seem even worse now than they did back then.

SHI flat for teh year today, not looked at it for awhile. Has anything changed lately? or does it still have big debts and complain about the weather a lot :)

A company totally exposed to the construction sector in Europe.....what could possibly go wrong...a bright future assured!
Joking aside, the company has worked hard to get itself back onto an even keel the problem from here on in is how do you actually grow when the whole of europe is effectively in recession
I have been watching for a while but not taken the plunge, might have a nibble if it retests last years low.

Just read the Interim Management Statement and it doesn't seem very positive.

Why no mention of like-for-like sales?

What we do get is confirmation of UK sales flat, despite 2 extra days and 3 extra branches.

Commenting on the results and outlook, Chris Davies, Chief Executive, said:

"We are pleased with these results and the progress we are making. I would highlight in particular the success of our organic growth strategy, with new branches moving into profitability more quickly than anticipated.



"During 2011 the Group delivered on a number of key objectives. Operationally, we continued to outperform the market while improving gross margins and securing additional efficiency savings. Strategically, we increased focus on our three core markets of insulation & energy management, interiors and exteriors by divesting non-core operations. Financially, we improved returns and further strengthened our balance sheet.



"We enter 2012 as a much leaner, stronger and more focused organisation. Sales per day in constant currency so far this year were around 1% ahead of strong prior year comparators, despite the impact of severe weather across Mainland Europe in February this year.



"Given the current uncertainties in the macroeconomic environment, we continue to expect market volumes to be slightly down overall in 2012. However, we have a solid platform on which to build and are targeting further market outperformance, with new branches expected to make a significant contribution to future growth
