I dont know why my orders dont go in. Very illiquid

[stav13] 17/1/2020 10:25

Just bought 2k @5.24, trade not showing.

[gilesy] 17/1/2020 10:17

best buy price I got was 5.24 as its always a wide spread on this company

[its the oxman] 17/1/2020 10:09

Always some risk but looks a very tempting buy now. If departure of cfo is unrelated to any collapse in current trading , which I'm inclined to believe , this could easily recover back to 650p in quick order. Shame there has been no trading update to counter the sell off.

Did it open sub 500p this morning gilesy?

[gilesy] 17/1/2020 10:00

bought back in at £5.65 today
sykes should benefit from the climate extremes we will face due to lack of serious actions from elected politicians to reduce Co2 emissions
great respect to greta for shaming them

What do you mean?

[cwa1] 15/1/2020 11:22

A, published, eye watering spread of 500-590 as I write is not exactly encouraging trading!

[thorpematt] 15/1/2020 09:43

Who can say. An imediate resignation tends to be a fall out. The insinuation with CFOs is an accounting failure. Typically either the CFO has got things wrong or the company has done things that the CFO disagrees with.

In ASYs case it seems unlikely that there is malpractice in the wider business but you never know I suppose.

[arregius] 15/1/2020 09:04

Opportunity?

[sspurt] 14/1/2020 16:28

Only just noticed the CFO has gone all of a sudden. No explanation.Not going to do the share price any good I suspect.

A very serious de-watering contract for Sykes in a major UK infrastructure project. The world's largest polyhalite mine in Yorkshire.

Clearly demonstrates Sykes's capabilities and specialist skills as they get more involved in major projects alongside the run-of-the-mill daily business.

Full article here which is well worth studying including comprehending the sheer scale of the project as depicted in the accompanying photos:-

Very impressive.

Interesting recent blog/case study about emergency heating requirement for aircraft hangar heating owned by major Aircraft maintenance Company near Norwich.

Client not named by Sykes but I guess that this is almost certainly highly-regarded KLM UK Engineering Ltd. at Norwich Airport.

If my guess is correct, it highlights some of the top-notch customers which are prepared to entrust important emergency requirements to Sykes.

re 2267 - Sykes do have depots in nearby Milan and Bologna which are not far from Venice

[volsung] 15/11/2019 14:23

Is this share anything to do with the late Eric?

[thorpematt] 15/11/2019 13:44

Venice gonna needs some pumps I think!

[quepassa] 15/11/2019 13:27

pretty certain that I have caught sight of Sykes' hallmark big blue pumps on the tv news coverage of the south yorks floods

Afraid I got out at 750p as there was no real likelihood of beating last years results even with these floods and colder weather. Will have another go if the winter is bad or if we get another scorcher next year but the 2018 results are going to be hard to beat. Good luck in the meantime, they are a pretty safe bet and the dividend looks secure, you never know they may get taken over at £8 or £9.

Funny old world .....


The only time this bulletin board is normally lively is at times of extreme weather events...like the floods besetting mid-England at the moment.

...but this time the silence is deafening and the handful of long-standing regular, stalwart contributors are silent......


..i wonder why......but i think i know.......
