Bonio.

IM knows more than you.

We’re quickly growing as a business and have secured some key clients over the last 12 months, as a result, we’re looking to hire a Strategic Account Director at Blackbird plc.

We’re looking for someone with a history of relationships with broadcasters, sports rights holders and live production companies.

The opportunity for somebody to come in and be part of the next stage of our fast-growth is an exciting challenge.

If you know of anyone who would fit this role, please share with them.

Blackbird allows working from home, not a bad thing in the current environment.

In fact a real positive!

[bonio10000] 26/2/2020 10:29

Cabi - the revenue is about £1m.

The sales costs to revenue ratio must be horrific.

None puts out a sales ad and says their company isn't expanding,

[cabi1] 26/2/2020 10:27

Bonio.

The sales team are all still there and active on LinkedIn.

Looks like they are expanding.

Maybe they are being inundated with enquires, and need an extra pair of hands.

With the fears of Coronavirus firms are looking for a back up so they don’t need to send large teams abroad.

One way of looking at it bonio.

Depends on how you see the industry going I guess😀

[bonio10000] 26/2/2020 10:02

I assume it is a replacement for the same old roles.

In the same way they sacked all of Aziz's team and then rehired.

They are expanding!

[bonio10000] 26/2/2020 09:55

They advertise the same jobs every 6 months.

My guess is either they have issues with staff retention, due to the lack of new deals, or they simply hire poorly.

I agree - they should be able to staff that from current resources.

Have you seen the state of the markets?

The fall has got nothing to do with Blackbird.
I’m sure Miton will understand that!

[bonio10000] 26/2/2020 09:42

Does beg the question why the headcount appears so high.

[bonio10000] 26/2/2020 09:42

Of course Miton's support is open ended.

They love a discounted placing as it means they just get more of the company at our expense.

As they have £7m to £8m in the bank - they won't care if there are no deals until April.

[chriscallen] 26/2/2020 09:35

With the share price dropping below the recent issue price Miton and others will be feeling some pain and if they feel pain they will be making it plain to the BoD that their support is not open ended. Running without any wins until April is not a course that recommends itself if they have an alternative.

Think traders are waiting for gap fill 13p should see some action there.

[bonio10000] 26/2/2020 08:09

They really are going to have the balls to go from Bloomberg to NAB in April with zero deals.

[bonio10000] 26/2/2020 08:08

First case in Brazil.

And a German critically ill after a trip to Milan.

We are off to the races.

I don't think the virus (including flu virus) minds the heat. It's the different behavior of us humans in the heat which reduces infection rates in summer.

[_m_k] 25/2/2020 23:42

"I believe these viruses don’t like the heat"

yes, live vaccines are kept in a fridge. but a virus feels equally at home in a human host at temperatures of 37 degrees Celsius (higher with a fever!). i wonder why.

SSB/NickB.

I bet BT is the telco IM spoke about.

Should be able to pick some up cheap with the Dow off another 1000 points today.

Then when news drops we will be 20p+

IMHO.
