Major breach of security at CakeBox over a year ago & they are just letting customers know now!!!Dear Cake Box Customer,Important information about your Cake Box transactionWe are writing to let you know about an incident that may involve your personal information, shared with us when you made a purchase via our website.We regret to inform you that due to an illegal third-party breach of our security systems, certain financial and personal information has potentially been accessed.Whilst we are currently unaware of any misuse of your personal information at this time, we would like to provide you with information about the incident, so you can understand what happened, how you may be affected, the steps we have taken since the incident occurred and the recommended steps you can take in response.Please be assured that we take the security of your information extremely seriously.We would like to reassure you that we have taken appropriate steps to stop the breach and ensure the Cake Box website is fully secure and safe to use.What happened?On 27 April 2020, we were contacted by Global Payments (our then-provider of payment processing services on the website) who informed us of a potential third party breach affecting the security of the Cake Box website.We immediately launched a thorough investigation of our systems in response and, with the help of experienced third-party security specialists, determined that an unauthorised third party had indeed recently gained access to the Cake Box website and placed certain malware on it. Using this malware, the third party was able to copy certain information provided by our customers when making purchases from our website. We were then subsequently made aware that, in certain instances, this information had been used to make fraudulent purchases.We have successfully removed the malware and we are contacting you now because your information may have been affected by the incident and we wanted to provide you with as much information as possible to assist you.

What are we doing?As an organisation, the security of data, including your information, is a top priority and one that we take extremely seriously. We had various preventative security measures in place at the time of this incident to protect your information, however, like many organisations, we were subject to a criminal attack via which access to our systems was gained despite these measures.We have taken appropriate steps to investigate the circumstances of the incident, repair the compromised system and identify those customers who may have been affected.In light of the incident, we have also taken various additional steps to further strengthen the security of our systems and the resilience of our business against similar attacks in the future, including upgrading our systems, implementing additional security measures and ensuring our staff are alert to potential fraudulent or unauthorised activity.We are also liaising with the relevant regulators and authorities to keep them informed of the matter.What can you do? There are various steps you can take to help protect your personal information in case it has been affected, and we have set out some examples below.Inform your bank that your debit or credit card information may have been compromised and have your cards replaced.Check your bank and credit card statements for any unusual activity that you do not recognise, in particular from the beginning of March 2020.Check your credit file regularly for newly opened accounts or credit searches that you do not recognise.Continue to be alert to the risk of phishing and any related fraud including any emails asking you to enter login credentials, provide financial information or give up any other personal data.We are sorry for the inconvenience that these actions may cause and the impact this incident may have had on you.

Many thanks BG, from another bg ;)

In the name of 'research' I popped into the CB shop in Kingsheath a couple of weeks ago and the girl there told me the franchisee has 7 shops. The smaller cakes/slices were excellent and easily enough for 2 people.

[brummy_git] 17/5/2021 14:39

Many thanks - Sukh & Pardip were top drawer

[thelongandtheshortandthetall] 17/5/2021 10:45

The 12% per annum cagr for 'like for like' is great!
However I think you forgot add in the store number expansion when making your prospective valuation Brummy_git.

Maybe I heard it wrong :)

Hi all,

My mate Peter @Conkers3 and myself did a ‘Twin Petes Investing’ Podcast last week and CBOX was one of the Stocks we discussed. Neither of us hold it at the moment but to me it looks a very decent play to stick away and capture some tasty (geddit?) growth.

In this one I started discussing how I use Spreadbets to gear-up my Returns but in a low-risk way and very much treating my Spreadbet Account like normal Shares. As always we also chatted about loads of other Stocks and Ideas for research and a fair bit of educational stuff with regards to Investing and Portfolio Management.

Anyway, if you use Youtube, Apple, Audioboom, Overcast, Google+ or Spotify you can find it under the 'Conkers Corner' Channel (you want Podcast TPI 46) and you can find it on Soundcloud at the link below.

I hope you enjoy it and find it useful, we try to keep them light and they are totally unscripted, with the intent being that it is like you are eavesdropping on us having a chat down the local boozer.

Cheers, WD
@wheeliedealer

Featured in today's Investor's Champion update –

Cake Box has remarkably (in the current climate) opened its 150th store, the 66th since its IPO on AIM in June 2018.

No new money was raised on AIM Admission, highlighting the cash generative nature of the business with cash flow well able to support the ambitious growth prospects.

[cj45] 21/1/2021 00:21

I've just had a brief look at Cakebox and it looks like it might be a decent business. Just a few things bothering me.
In 2020FY cakebox opened 20 stores at a cost of £2.1m = £100k each. Does that sound right? Maybe for a Domino's or McDonald's but seems a bit expensive to me to fit out a small shop with a big fridge and a display counter?
Also the inventory level seems too high. I assume most of it is equipment waiting to be fitted into new stores but why would have a warehouse with £1.4m of the stuff? Shouldn't inventory be described a bit better considering what happened to Patisserie Valerie not long back? Thanks

Crispin, it is pricey. However, there's a growing number of people who are looking for vegan foods. The Sikh community in the midlands and London ordered these cakes on a daily basis for various occasions (even during lockdowns). This trend will only continue.

[shammytime] 09/12/2020 20:10

Still think this has more to go but may be consolidation phase for a few days. Sold out today

[shammytime] 07/12/2020 13:31

Moving nicely under the radar. A clean breakout, fully expect 250p in a few days

[shammytime] 27/11/2020 12:57

An incredibly popular business in the Midlands. Always busy

Cake Box Holdings has demonstrated remarkable resilience in its half year to 30 September 2020.

Investor's Champion reports in their daily vaccine countdown update that despite a period of 6 weeks when all its stores were closed, overall revenue only declined 2% to £8.59m, with pre-tax profit 4% lower at £1.66m - note the high 19% margin.
