If she was responsible for the LCFC disaster and similar problems, yes.

Confucious he also say....previous finance director was a trusting young fool and should have been kicked into touch ages ago.

Confucious he say...he who loses finance director overnight, and without explanation, must be treated with caution.

Birse Metro wins subway works worth £3.9m

Birse Metro has been awarded a £3.9m by London Underground for subway works at Walthamstow Central Station.

The project under the Alternative Framework Provider Contract involves fitting out the existing subway, including mechanical and electrical services, and breaking through to connect with the existing underground station.

Dean Rollinson, Business Development Director of Birse Metro, said: "We see the project as an ideal opportunity to develop a working relationship with London Underground to deliver significant improvements to the railway.

"We believe that we can utilise the skills and experience developed over the past 10 years working in the underground environment to deliver a first class project and assist London Underground in improving the safety and quality of the underground network."

Work commences this month with completion in mid-2007.

Next Story | Previous Story | Back to list

12:30 - 10 May 2005
Birse Civils has been awarded a £2.5-million contract to create the infrastructure for the East Hall Farm development at Sittingbourne, Kent, for Trenport Investments Ltd.

The project includes the construction of 1,300 metres of carriageway, on top of an existing flood embankment and the creation of a new wetlands area. This involves the complete clearance of the site, followed by major earthworks operations.

A new flood prevention ditch system and gas, water, power, telecoms and drainage infrastructure will also be provided, together with a new pumping station.

Birse has also been awarded a £2-million contract by South Yorkshire Passenger Transport Executive to upgrade the subway to Doncaster mainline railway station.

The project will involve the addition of three new lift shafts from the existing subway to platform level.

The subway will be refurbished throughout with new lighting, cladding and flooring. In addition, the ticket hall will be enhanced.

They obviously needed the cash to acquire...

[mitchy] 25/4/2005 19:55

Less debt makes a more attractive buy out target toob?..he said clutching at straws.Good point toob, no real answer to that one.What we need is some 'insider' perspective on this board.
Positive spin - the 8%+ divi must be assured for next year at least...ahem!

[toob] 25/4/2005 16:03

Why is this a good price. It's only 1.6m above asset value, for a business that made 700k profit last time.
They're selling the jewels. What's the business rationale for selling a profit-making business that's none risk and has a big element of captive market( ie yourself)? It can only be that you're desperate for cash.

[hvs] 24/4/2005 11:49

Absolutely, they achieved a very good price for the business.

Think a rerating is on the cards.

[mitchy] 22/4/2005 21:16

The rise today suggests the market liked the price Birse got for that sale.
More deals and contracts to beat market expectations to come?

[day_dreamer] 21/4/2005 10:01

This mornings quote sizes are completely different and poor but you
cannot beat the spread though.

11.78-11.80p spread....but 15k v 150k.

Gravy

[day_dreamer] 19/4/2005 10:29

100k sell but a 250k buy...been a lot of large buys lately as i
said yesterday and the mm's are slowly raising the quotes to
try and get stock.

Pretty good online spread of 11.88-12.1p for 75k both ways.

Gravy

[day_dreamer] 19/4/2005 09:49

All 5 mm's are now 11.5-12.25p.

Gravy

[mitchy] 19/4/2005 07:43

Perhaps Birse had a good day at court yesterday....total guess

[day_dreamer] 19/4/2005 00:04

No comments..amazing !

A top riser on a very bad day....mm buying...protected trade
at top price..major changes to L2 just before the close..3 mm's
were bidding 11.5p and just one offering 12p and not one post !

I think this is going to move sharply higher tomorrow !

Gravy

[day_dreamer] 18/4/2005 16:21

Backwardisation...lol...

[day_dreamer] 18/4/2005 16:08

Down to 15k offered online as well now..150k bid.

Gravy

[day_dreamer] 18/4/2005 16:03

250k protected at highest offer price of 11.5p also.

Lots of buying and mm's maybe getting squeezed here hence
the rise, hope this is some insider buying as well, if this
share has some good news then the upside from this low price
would be great.

Gravy

[day_dreamer] 18/4/2005 15:55

Starting to look even better and that was enough to propell
them right up onto leaders board.

Spread great now..11.38-11.47p..150k v 50k.

Anybody awake ?

Gravy

[day_dreamer] 18/4/2005 14:42

Great quotes still after the rise !

11.2p bid for 150k...11.42p offer for 50k.

Gravy

[day_dreamer] 18/4/2005 13:45

Some superb online quotes now in Birse !

The bid is 10.85p for 375k and the offer is 11.15p for just 50k
so they have completely turned around and this could easily go blue
in a sea of red today.
If nothing is actually wrong then these are another company that looks
extremely cheap but still a slight risk to them with the citibank case
but without news on those quotes the price could well bounce.

Almost 9% divi now...don't see that very often.With the larger market falling on higher oil prices,global slow down and interest rate rise threats it should be an interesting week.
