The mill cat at Inveresk's last papermill has told me that ex employees have had to go to extraordinary lengths to get their redundancy money paid. Actions have included a county court judgement and applying through the Insolvency Service. Unite, the union, may even apply for a winding up order.

Can anyone tell me when the restriction on share dealing may be lifted? I want to be out of here!!!

Hello TheOriginalRed,
Sounds like information from an insider, or at least someone who was inside. Good background information. Thanks.

It's interesting to look at all of the companies that are registered to Bedford House at CB7 5BA. Use Why would anyone need that many inactive companies if it wasn't for the purposes of shuffling money around?
If I was an IVS shareholder, especially with the way that the Board has treated its employees, I'd be asking what's going on!

TheOriginalRed, Arthur_Lame_Stocks and other long-term holders,

Having read the suspension notice I note with enthusiasm IVS's confidence that matters with regards to the Tullis Russell Papermakers Ltd ("TR") litigation will not only be finally concluded by the end of 2009. But also that they will be successfully concluded in our/their (IVS's)favour. Thus making IVS a very cash rich and asset rich company indeed. The pending conclusion will make a very nice shareholders Christmas present indeed.

Does anyone else having any thoughts or opinions on the matter. TIA

Yours with integrity c2i

It may just be that there's a bit of bottom fishing going on again and property stocks seem to have come back into fashion just a little bit. Although there's quite a large amount of share been traded it's peanuts in financial terms so I think it's impossible to read anything into it.

Inveresk reminds me a bit of the old Pilkington Tiles which also was a struggling manufacturer sitting on a piece of very valuable land. In the end a deal was done which saw the land and the company split into two and the land was eventually bought out by Inland PLC. Inveresk may appeal to them or similar companies, although the pension funds may prove a problem.

I'll keep watching for developments for now. If I can be just a bit more sure they aren't going to run out of cash I may have a few.

So they did ! Have you also noticed the large number of shares that have changed hands over the last week or so ? Are there deals being done do you think ?

I'm wondering if the board and some of the shareholders are looking to split up the Company so that the land in Scotland is separated from the land in England (ie Wells). To my mind the chances of developing the land in Scotland are currently far higher than in England especially given the somewhat unique nature of the Wells site and its locality.

My informants tell me that the board seem to have woken up at last and are desperately trying to reduce corporate costs by reducing the number of HQ employees to the absolute minimum and also moving to close the Scottish office (should have been done 5 years ago).

They seem to have assumed that when PM1 was shut that the Company would become profitable again and of course they were wrong (its still the bank's fault of course). However, PM2 could become a nice profitable unit under the correct management and cost structure. Get rid of AW, GT etc and one would go a very long way to achieving that aim.

All I know is that there is no point in selling shares for nothing and all one can do at the moment is hang on and hope that sense will prevail and the position of the Company improves thus pushing up the share price.

Hi Red

I was talking about the price!!! It moved 100% odd up the day after I posted.

One easy way for disgruntled ex employees to get back at the Board would be quite simple really. Highlight the shenanigans in clear simple terms to local labour councillors about the way employees were treated and simply remind them again at the time of the next Planning Application for the land by IVS.

every little helps !

Q12 - My apologies I think that you are on our side after all ! I predicted a similar outcome months ago when it became clear that the board were making no attempt to support the share price and I still think that's what they will do.
They don't need to allow that company to go into administration they could buy it for less than current market value by bidding for the shares and the current value is much less than the latest value of the land.

I still think that the board are a bunch of deceiptful incompetent crooks who have conned shareholders, employees, customers etc and I just cannot understand how they have been allowed to get away with it.

Q12 - I see that the board have got yey another mole on this BB. What you like or don't like doesn't matter.
The fact is that Inveresk has been run by a greedy incompetent bunch of crooks for the last few years who have done their very best to screw both employees and shareholders. I see the share price has broken yet another record.

Also the chairman's and MD's reports are full of inaccuracies and lies. Even if the Chinese project goes ahead there will be no one left at Inveresk to run it and meet Inveresk's part of the deal.

So Q12 get real yourself.

By the way if it goes to tribunal the Company do not have a hope in hell of winning and will end up in administration. I think they will pay up but, only when they absolutely have to ie the day before the hearing in February. Due to the delay the very least that AW and his cronies could do would be to pay all the redundant employees interest on the money they owe them - 10.0% would be a fair rate.

The originalred

the writing has been on the wall for all to read for years in the paper industry in the uk.

I agree with some of what you say but

1)Property sales have stemmed operational cash losses for years thus buying employees time to bale out of a sinking ship at their own leisure

2) The entire UK has enjoyed a sustained run of prosperity and relatively full employment for about 10 years. Employees are not indentured in the 21st century. I feel for anyone about to lose their job as I have done in the past but they surely are only there by choice alone, not obligation

3) I think the bod will prob lose out here as well as employees. Share options will be worth little and share purchases at higher levels are showing a loss

4) it will be the shareholder who will lose out the most
