Doing very well indeed.

Up from 300p twelve months ago to c.550p now. Great performance. And well deserved.

A growing and internationally expanding business which just keeps on rewarding loyal and patient shareholders and whose prospects look, in my opinion, to be outstanding. Still good value.

Some impressive overseas contracts coming through. And a company with a very stable underlying business but which gets a major financial boost every so often when weather deviates from the norm as with last week's heat-wave.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

I see there is a note on the blog which is interesting. Didn't know they had a minimum hire period of 3 weeks. Good to hear.

[keithfox] 23/6/2017 13:23

Anyone going to the AGM?

[ignoble] 22/6/2017 08:14

Not forgetting that it is also hot in Europe which I assume keeps them busy too

[ignoble] 22/6/2017 08:13

Aye
Within reason , let's hope we have a good summer.
Looking out of my window this morning , looks like the heavens are about to open

The astonishing UK heat wave can but be excellent news for Sykes' business and trading.

Replying to @dresserman
Hi Steve we sold 92k fans alone at Argos yesterday but we still have tens of thousands of units in stock!

[keithfox] 20/6/2017 18:25

How do you know they sold 92000? Yes ignoble, you don't get temps of 30 to 33 without ASY doing well. The first half is looking good as it has the currency advantage whch last years firs half didn't have and now a heatwave in june wich we have't had for many a year. Also the middle east cotracts annunced recently plus thrnew depots in england and itay plus the comment about good trade in italy. All looking ok.

[ignoble] 20/6/2017 17:55

Good Heavens
Hopefully Sykes selling / hiring out a few too

[cockerhoop] 20/6/2017 14:26

Apparently Argos sold 92,000 fans yesterday!

[ignoble] 19/6/2017 09:35

Phew , it is hot ...

[ignoble] 18/6/2017 18:26

New depot for Sykes in Bologna , Italy .

[keithfox] 08/6/2017 12:49

Looks good. Tks.

Couple of new Middle East projects announced...Dubai one looks especially good:-

"Khansaheb Sykes has been awarded the Dewatering Sub Contractor for the upcoming construction of Dubai’s newest Clean Coal Power Plant. The project is expected to last almost 4 years.....

Due to the vast construction area, project has been split in smaller construction areas. Due to the depths of the excavations electric submersible dewatering pumps have been installed with operation being 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, construction areas are now completely dry and the contractors are progressing with the construction without any groundwater impediment or problems...."

Don't think I can ever remember a 5p spread before.

[ignoble] 30/5/2017 14:35

Looks good !

[keithfox] 30/5/2017 10:33

New depot opened and taking on new staff. Doncaster.

[keithfox] 22/5/2017 13:18

Looks like a good week for ASY, quite often they don't get a week like this all summer and certainly not in the first half. Hopefully, there'll be more hot weather in June although possibly not for a week or two. We shall see.

[ignoble] 20/5/2017 14:33

Express also reports that Scientists are 99.9% sure that they have found Noah's Ark in Turkey.
Could be useful during heavy rainfall

[ignoble] 20/5/2017 14:30

Daily Express reporting that we should expect 90 days of roasting heat this summer with occasional massive downpours
We'll see !
