Hopefully go in the direction of your username.

[thenorth] 26/11/2007 20:31

so whats your feeling on the share price when it goes live Sharon???

[sharon goss] 26/11/2007 20:26

Look on the bright side TN.
You're in a better position than most other shareholders. Its obviously a complex audit, and it suggests, in my opinion only, that Philip Carter was cooking the books big time.

[thenorth] 26/11/2007 20:09

ah ha... there you are bullet! always good to know that you all have not run for the hills so to speak! is it 100% that Ensall has joined then?

I have heard that a New CEO (john Ensall) has been appointed, anyone else heard this? does anyone think this could speed up hearing the out come of the audit?

thanks

where is anyone? bullet1201 have you anymore news? some posts suggested a lift in the suspension so anyone know when we can look forward to this happening?

sorry but i guess we are all excited in knowing somthing!

Re new CEO - no-one worth appointing to such a post would dream of having his/her name linked publicly with C&C until their financial issues had been sorted out. Expect an anouncement once this has been done - if ever!

I am holding this share so my comments would naturally be positive about the re-listing. I have also heard that there are staff being laid off in at leat one of the divisions. I have not heard anything about a new CEO.

With the recent share holding of LG being notified I guess they are nearer to getting their house in order, or at least that is what I am hoping, If anyone has any more certain news, positive or neagative, it would be nice to hear.

I am sure you will get views both ways so I am offering none, not really helpful was it!

But I do know the company has been cutting staff and rumored to have a new CEO although the company doesn't think it is worth informing the market of that.

Train to Gain places contracts worth £440m this year with training providers
19 November 2007 08:57

Train to Gain estimates it will place contracts worth £440m this year with training providers.

Cheshire-based apprenticeship training specialist Protocol Skills tops the contracts-placed league table in terms of the value of Train to Gain business won so far this year. Troubled Nottingham training services provider Carter & Carter is second, sector skills agency Constructionskills third, Sheffield based A4E Management fourth while Constant Browning Edmonds, a Peterborough training provider comes fifth.

Train to Gain refused to give the value of the contracts it awarded to each provider as a matter of confidentiality. But it has been reported that Carter & Carter won at least £10m worth of Train to Gain business this year.

Train to Gain says Carter & Carter won the single biggest contract in terms of value that it had placed this year and the second largest in terms of how many trainees were involved. In October Carter & Carter suspended trading in its shares on the London Stock Exchange after it fell from a 2007 high of £12.75 in April to 83p before the suspension.

The regions that have benefited most, in terms of values of contracts awarded, from the Train to Gain Programme are North West England, London and South East England though this reflects various factors such as the number of SMEs in a region and how many people in a region don't have a Level 2 qualification.

Next year Train to Gain, which is backed by the Learning & Skills Council, expects to place contracts worth £650m, up from last year's figure of £230m.

Still as muddy as ever and has political links as this breaking story shows:

[nwdave] 20/11/2007 18:39

ahd when it does end any guesses as to what th share price will do?? not another nrk i hope???

[webgremlin] 20/11/2007 15:44

IG Index are quoting 77.7p for phone dealing only. The end of suspension could be close!

[a44] 20/11/2007 09:16

Not as interesting as you might want to believe. L&G have been given approval to move certain guaranteed holdings into other areas of their business. So the total L&G holding is now above the disclosure limit.

Longwinded so for more info see L&G web site.

[maqsud] 19/11/2007 17:53

mmm..L & G increasing stake...whats going on behind closed doors..?

[smelgy] 16/11/2007 07:49

.........I would suggest that the announcement of 7.5m training places for adults will eventually be excellent news for CART. Roll on re-listing.

[armitage_sink] 12/11/2007 18:19

..Among the minnows, support services group Carter & Carter has come close to collapse since the unfortunate death of its founder Philip Carter in a helicopter crash earlier this year. It is in talks with its banks and its shares have been suspended at 82.5p, but now there is talk that John Ensall - a member of the Society of Turnaround Professionals (yes, really) - will be appointed as interim chief executive. Kaupthing analysts said this appeared to be a short term rather than permanent solution to the company's problems.

[temporarily insane] 07/11/2007 20:28

Bullet1201....Is this the same chap.



All looking better than yesterday

Am sure NEW LABOUR will help out.

Its ONLY TAX PAYERS MONEY.

[hopeless698] 07/11/2007 18:49

hope he's got 70 million pounds worth of deep pockets!

[hvs] 07/11/2007 15:20

So does he have deep pockets then ?

[a44] 07/11/2007 15:19

Not heard but will be well received as know as a turnaround expert.
