Glyn10 maybe they have concerns over the new CEO like many others I'm sure

Apparently Numis disagree with me (downgrade), still they have been wrong on there forecasts for the last few months so I am not greatly worried by them.

[glyn10] 24/5/2016 14:16

A positive update, the board changes should give TB more time to concentrate on strategic items where he will add greater value rather than get bogged down in the day to day ruinning of the company. Steve Brown is more than capable as CEO.

[rivaldo] 24/5/2016 12:21

In general I'd agree, but I have complete confidence in TB so in this case am happy.

Steve Brown has also done such a good job that I'm also happy to see him as CEO. Can't be bad to have an ex-Disney head honcho at the top.

The new non-exec is also impressive - she should have a wide range of contacts for ACSO to exploit given her experience.

I've never been very happy with having an executive chair. Perhaps others take a similar view judging by the price action today, on an otherwise very positive update?

hi all, no never bought back in. Sold out around the £1 , mark which clearly was a mistake but bought a company which I run part time and some flats near where I live which have gone up nearly as much as this would be worth and have a good yield so retirement sorted.. Lost the other half in a dodgy land deal overseas. Great to see you all well doing well. I have a couple of other tiddlers Im eyeing up. Might be the next one you never know.

[perceypig] 24/5/2016 10:44

Time will tell.

Correct, Tom isn't leaving ffs! Steve Brown is very highly regarded by Tom - Ex Disney from memory.This whole remodelling will be great for the Company. It gives Tom time to concentrate on the strategic direction plus being the public face we have grown to know (& love??) whilst Steve can deal more with the day to day minutiae of running a successful company.This also looks like a good opp to snaffle some less expensive stock before the Market realise what a great reshuffle this really is...spud

[alphabeta4] 24/5/2016 09:59

He's not leaving Percy :)

I can sympathise with the change - I saw Tom last year and he had just done something ridiculous like 23 flights in 20 days.

As mentioned this looks a well managed succession. I would be interested to know what Steve Brown's role has exactly been up to now as he must have been heavily involved but I can't remember seeing him take the limelight.

[perceypig] 24/5/2016 09:10

I see the market has reacted to Sir Browns appointment ! Lol
I think one of the reasons the company did so well, other than Qbot being a fantastic product, was people trusted Tom. The markets, investors and importantly the employees. He is a man of his word and I wish him all the very best.

Super update with Tom swapping to the navigators seat whilst Steve takes the controls. This was always going to be the case with the full on workload that Tom has ably shouldered over the years. I did notice that he seemed slightly weary during his most recent interview.Anyway, the share price is having a well earned breather after such a meteoric first quarter rise with the news giving investors an excuse to take some chips off the table.Fwiw, I think Steve (although I have never met or spoken to him) will make a fine fist of things going forward.spud

[rivaldo] 24/5/2016 07:43

Cracking update. Can't ask for more - and great to see the succession planning in place with Steve Brown moving up to CEO and TB becoming Chairman.

The outlook looks great:

"the encouragingly strong start means we are increasingly confident about our likely performance for the year"

PS : davidosh, can't make the AGM today, but will see you at RNWH tomorrow.

[davidosh] 23/5/2016 14:26

How many of you are coming to the Agm tomorrow morning ?

[perceypig] 23/5/2016 13:44

I know it was spoken about but has anyone got any further info regarding the 10p Club ;-) meeting for a spot of lunch tomorrow?
Would be an ideal time to thank Leonard and Tom

And into the blue we go....

[perceypig] 23/5/2016 10:00

Then let me update you gnnmartin
A great little company called Lo-Q brought some ticketing company called accesso.
Some say that, allegedly, it wouldn't hurt for a few people to be reminded of just who brought who!
The rest as they say is history.

[gnnmartin] 22/5/2016 18:04

So I gather. I don't understand ticketing, I guess.

[perceypig] 22/5/2016 17:39

Really

pp

[spud] 22/5/2016 16:00

Ticketing is the Company's cash cow & has the greatest £ growth potential imo. spud

The AGM is on 24 May 2016 (next Tuesday) at 10.00 a.m. at Unit 5, The Pavilions, Ruscombe Park, Twyford, Berkshire, RG10 9NN. My (few, sadly) remaining shares are in certificated form, so I could just turn up. Indeed I had hoped to given the doubling of the shares over the last year.

Most companies allow shareholders whose shares are held by a nominee or in a SIPP to attend as 'observers', who can't vote or ask questions during the formal part of the meeting, but can ask questions during the discussions afterwards. However, don't bank on that: send an email asking if you can attend, or given that there's not much time, give a call on Monday and talk to the company secretary. Alternatively, you can ask your nominee or SIPP trustee to give you a letter nominating you as proxy for the shares. I try to avoid this if possible, because it is all more work for the nominee, and ultimately that costs us money.

I sold most of my shares in LoQ at around £6. I was unhappy with the move (as I perceived it) from making the punter's visit to a theme park more enjoyable to subdividing visitors into groups who could be charged different prices for a different class of experience. I was also unenthusiastic about the move into ticketing. Pity, I tipped the money into TRT among other things. Still, I did pretty well from LoQ, so I retain an affection for them.

[perceypig] 22/5/2016 08:40

Must be the AGM then soon?
My spidey senses tell me Sir Brown is over
How does one go about attending?
Do you just turn up or do you contact Amanda and let her know.
Never done this before and not sure of the protocol

[spud] 21/5/2016 22:17

No a shame. From memory, he pumped all his profits (read shares circa 300k) into a vending business when they were about a quid. Hindsight, ain't it a wonderful thing??Perhaps not from when Glenn's sitting just now tho'..spud

[supernumerary] 21/5/2016 20:47

Does she know you call her Mrs Pig? I sincerely hope not.

I don't think Glenn ever did get back in. A pity if not - he must have made a lot more money out of loq for other people than he did for himself.

A glass to absent friends...
