No idea what you are on about Oh you who has only ever posted on Bilby ,hmmmmm odd behaviour by you

We are delighted at David's appointment as CEO of the Group. Under his auspices we are confident that the business will continue to perform and grow. Equally, we are pleased that Lee and Chris are joining the Board. As the driving forces behind the success of Purdy and DCB they are ideally placed to ensure the Group continues to effectively take advantage of the significant opportunities that the market continues to present. We welcome our new shareholders to Bilby who have recognised these opportunities and fully support our strategy to capitalise on them."Stanford Capital Partners acted as sole book runner in respect of the share sale and is a party to the hard lock-in agreement, dated 3(rd) September 2018, between the Group and Janet CopoloSeptember 4th placing Sept 30th half year end Surely directors would know how the business is doing after 5 months of the year ?

Thats a question for 1bond and Garybo

[nico115] 09/3/2019 18:34

Don't you think Stanford should be writing to the FCA to protect the placees interests?Why aren't Stanford taking this further ?

Don't tell me the Bod didn't know what the interims were going to be like after 5 months of the 6 months had gone by So when institutions met with Ellingham for DD why the hell were they not told the numbers would not be met ?

[nico115] 09/3/2019 15:29

I'm shocked the institutions who bought in here at 100p ,having met Ellingham days before he issued the profits warning, haven't kicked him out yet He was obviously promoted beyond his talent

[nico115] 08/3/2019 17:41

Probably on holiday with Ellingham!!He founded the company in 1977 and then his FD managed to sell the story to Institutions in the middle of a HUGE slowdown and once sold announces soon after two,not one ,large profit warnings Copolo owes Ellingham big time The stock falls 75pct and Ellingham doesn't buy 1 share yet was happy to put his neck on the line (not his pockets) and stress the second half would be much stronger This BOD CANNOT be trusted ..I will never buy another Bilby share or back another Stanford placing(what do they care they got their fees) as no Due diligence could have taken place The institutions who bought in also have no accountability buying into Bilby as the company was in a major downturn(what do they care its not their money ) Ellingham criticised me daily for selling some stock after the placing ..lucky I bloody well did Shame on the lot of them.

Where was Copolo today, on the golf course or at the spa ?

[nico115] 08/3/2019 16:29

Called Ruffer today Monday will call the others They won't be happy They were buying at 100p and Ellingham not bought a share at 39pYou couldn't make it up I'm sure the BOD are unaccountable Usual Aim nonsense ,profit warning after profit warning and the BOD have jobs for life

[nico115] 08/3/2019 13:11

Elligham would have known what interims would be So surely he never told the truth in meetings with Institutions Should we vote for him to leave the BODI can't trust him ..can you ??!!

[garyb01] 08/3/2019 12:52

Agree not selling or buying - due to their client base revenues usually have a dramatic increase during March - let's hope its a big one this year!..

[1bond] 08/3/2019 12:36

I'm waiting for full year results July time, not selling not buying.

[nico115] 08/3/2019 12:06

Sorry I meant half year !!You wrote this a while back "I'm looking at this as an opportunity, revenues down 5pct, dividend maintained, profit before tax £2.4m, visibility over the second half remain"You still think dividend will be maintained ? You think visibility was good? You still trust the management ?

[1bond] 08/3/2019 11:47

Company year end is 31st March 2019 not September 2018.

[nico115] 08/3/2019 10:13

Bilby ,patisserie Valerie ,GvcJust can't trust management in smaller companies Ellingham won't care about Bilby falling 70pct as he hasn't bought a share

[nico115] 08/3/2019 09:27

Mr smith Year end was sept 30thWould the BOD have a fairly good idea early September how the year went ?If so,why did Institutions buy 30pct of the company off the founder ?

[opodio] 08/3/2019 08:23
