Berkeley Scott Share Discussion Threads

Lets not forget that they were a company having troubles as well. They will need to be sorted out alongside the acquisition integration.

I think we can expect to see this continue to drop back pending the dilution from new shares and prior to any solid news for the future

But that said I am probably going to put in a bet sized holding for a long term hold as soon as I think we are nearing the bottom.

QS9, may be I am more optimistic than you to suggest that next stop technically is 80p, however this is the start of a new company coming together under new management who already have a strategy so long term could be even more exciting!

[qs9] 05/1/2007 09:49

great dip to sub 40p...didn't last very long...looks like they are trying to get stock cheaply, agree: short-term this is looking very very strong...could be wrong as ever, but market cap still small so high % rise very possible

[parvez] 05/1/2007 09:29

I would have thought that is very short-term. These guys have a good track record and institutions may want to get in at the bottom of what is likely IMHO to be an exciting ride.

[qs9] 05/1/2007 09:09

looks good for 50p+ short-term me thinks....city buying into management pretty big here.....

[parvez] 04/1/2007 14:56

agreed. see they are trying to get stock on board and this will be all over the press tomorrow too..

[qs9] 04/1/2007 13:26

lots of headroom here IMO...just the start by the looks of things

[parvez] 04/1/2007 10:55

Not a dog anymore but a bull!! Watch this well...


Berkeley Scott proposes share subsription to give co control to Bowmer, Reeves


LONDON (AFX) - Berkeley Scott Group PLC said former Adecco SA chairman John
Bowmer and Tony Reeves are to hold 62.6 pct of the company and use it as a
consolidation vehicle for the recruitment sector following their proposed
subscription to 14.2 mln shares.
Bowmer and Reeves are to become non-executive co-chairmen following the
proposed 17.5 pence a share subscription, which will raise around 2.5 mln stg.
The hospitality and leisure service staffing company said Bowmer and Reeves
plan to use the company as a vehicle for consolidation of what they see as a
fragmented market, growing the business both organically and by acquisition.
It said the proceeds of the subscription will be used to refinance existing
debt and to provide additional funding for ongoing working capital requirements.
Roddy Watt, Berkely Scott founder and chief executive, will relinquish his
position and step down from the board. Reeves will become acting chief executive
until a permanent replacement is recruited.
The proposed board-recommended subscription is subject to, among other
conditions, shareholder approval.

[elsworth] 03/9/2005 01:07

[empirestate] 02/9/2005 20:32

good job i held off, but as u say pp good for a turnaround and relatively cheap

[papalpower] 02/9/2005 11:28

I was watching this one as a potential turnaround but glad I was only watching with the poor trading statement today, maybe next year.

[empirestate] 01/9/2005 14:35

long rather

[gardenboy] 01/9/2005 08:40

empire,

are you thinking of a short?

I got out of this at the time of the London bombings

[empirestate] 01/9/2005 08:36

gravy -this looks like one for us with a chart like this

[gardenboy] 18/7/2005 17:49

.......and there is a forecast of £1.2m pretax with eps of 9.5p for 06

[gardenboy] 12/7/2005 08:44

could this stock now be undervalued?

The company has enjoyed a number of significant new business wins across all areas of their business including Virgin Atlantic, MWB, Pret a Manger and Tragus. The pipeline of potential business is at a record level, and they anticipate a number of further wins in the second half of this year.

CEO and CFO have been buying shares recently.

I've still got a 13000 cert for Bioglan Pharma,might send him it to jog his memory!!!.S

[simonevans] 10/4/2004 16:26

See that Terry Sadler is back with an AIM IPO called York Pharma in a few weeks. Just received the prospectus and looks interesting. Whilst Bioglan was obviously a complete disaster, I suspect the management team have learnt a few lessons for the next time around.
