Yes agree, but I am not holding my breath, dyor.

If Laura Ashley was to introduce the sort of brands you speak of srpactive things could certainly change its fortunes, if they could also come to an arrangement with the likes of Mulberry, who has a market value of more than ten times ALY speeding both international business`s.

It looks like a 950000 at 6.9p has just
been traded, I stand to be corrected.

The lady Jane Rapley.

It would be good if JP came into the fashion stores and completely
cleared the lot at cost, then bring in Stella McCartney range
of clothes under Stella McCartney at Laura Ashley and turned
the fashion range into a very good brand like Burberry, I feel
we have more potential now than Burberry had before they boomed.
Burberry only had a trenchcoat to build off, we have fashion,
furniture, interior design, kitchens, bedrooms, tea rooms and hotels.

Dyor, now get this moving.

Yes agree, she is very well connected.

[coxsmn] 12/1/2018 20:45

[kirk 6] 12/1/2018 19:53

I have been here for years as an income and growth stock,
unfortunately since the July 2015 Singapore purchase it
has been falling. Now with a new fashion person who is
connected with the cream of the young British fashion
industry we might just might be turning the corner.
I bought more at 8p, I will look to increase again
soon once 6p holds and recovers, dyor.

Please keep posting as as only a few here.

Srp looks like there is plenty of room for major upside here since the price is in the gutter. These appointments look good

[srpactive] 12/1/2018 18:08

Thank you, they really need to turnaround the fashion,
but first they need to sell the Singapore building to
maybe MUI and then the business I hope, dyor.

[kirk 6] 12/1/2018 18:03

Trading them in and out. Probably add more Monday after these appointments.

[srpactive] 12/1/2018 17:59

[srpactive] 12/1/2018 17:56

Jane Rapley seems to have taught the big UK designers
inc Stella McCartney, Alexander Mcqueen and Christopher Kane
to mention a couple, dyor.

im looking to buy a load of duck egg blue paint when they go into administration

[coxsmn] 12/1/2018 17:51

Aly advertising winter sale on the radio, up to 70% off fashion and 10% i think off furniture. Shares in the company also 95% reduced!

[11_percent] 12/1/2018 11:56

These scams usually delist instead of going too low......they will have a plan to do a runner with the cash.

The money went East, ostensibly, to buy an office in Singapore.........I very much doubt that anything was bought, and the cash pocketed.

[blueball] 12/1/2018 09:13

I reckon 3p sometime its hard to say..

[11_percent] 11/1/2018 23:05

Zero.......it will delist.......all the money that went East will be stolen.

Its a scam.......what do you not understand.

[srpactive] 11/1/2018 16:07

Yes good call, where is your next?

[blueball] 11/1/2018 14:31

My August prediction of 6p now a fact.

This has all the hallmarks of an RNS to come saying we have decided to cease our aim listing.

==============

hybrasil,

You are right...delisting on the way....and they keep all the money that was not used to buy the Singapore office.
