"he was let down by the (previous) management"

That could be said of any poor investment!

I do have confidence that a Nomad will be signed up before Peel Hunt leaves.
Overall though it does not look a very good position that Crawshaws are in at the moment.
We holders have little choice but to give the two new men at the helm some time and hopefully they can turn things around.
Anyone any information as to how the new Spar venture is going at ground level?

[meijiman] 26/10/2018 10:27

It does though rather suggest that a NOMAD will be signed up as these talks are not in a vacuum. What an utter shambles..though current management trying hard to make the best of it...survival.

What a useless RNS, it doesn't confirm anything other than uncertainty.

[arthur_lame_stocks] 26/10/2018 07:57

And they've only got a week to appoint a new NOMAD.

[arthur_lame_stocks] 26/10/2018 07:43

It certainly looks like existing holders are going to be all but wiped out, but a fundraising is probably the only thing that is going to save this company for a while at least.

RNS out - great idea, wait until the share price is near/at the historic low .. then say you need to raise funds probably via issuing shares.. existing shareholders could be diluted significantly! (probably a 1p rights issue - then a 1 for 10 share consolidation is my prediction)

[playful] 26/10/2018 07:24

What's this speculation? The only thing I've seen is a minor comment from TW but he'll probably start banging on about them endlessly now.

Not sure why this RNS was necessary, can anyone shed any light on all this media speculation? It's probably softening us up for a placing but really I ask you!

@ bigdea1 what and 4p by week after....

Plenty of Nomads would take them on but the process to accept them and do DD takes 3-4 weeks, add on 2 weeks to haggle about fees. To me timings still on schedule.

[playful] 22/10/2018 16:37

Oh no don't say that. I think we'll probably see something positive announced this week but they shouldn't really be in this predicament.

[bigdeal1] 22/10/2018 15:35

1p by the end of the week

[arthur_lame_stocks] 22/10/2018 14:02

Less than two weeks to appoint a nomad. Are there problems we don't know about on top of the ones we do?

Davidosh (David Stredder) is a highly successful, and immensely respected investor.

He's been a great friend to many of us, over the last 20 years.

[playful] 20/10/2018 22:24

Celebrity customer Richard Bacon visits our Mansfield shop to ask when the Nomad will be appointed...

[playful] 18/10/2018 22:43

Davidosh is certainly not at fault, he was let down by the previous management and we good Yorkshire folk should rally together to build this business back up again to where Colin Crawshaw would be proud.

[sefton1] 18/10/2018 08:07

Just another davidosh disaster

Good insight into the growth potential of meat hampers here highlighting the fake farm names that some supermarkets plaster their products with.



Our Givendale farm relationship needs to be shouted about and featured prominently in all shops.

[meijiman] 12/10/2018 10:25

Let's hope they don't overlook this matter!

[arthur_lame_stocks] 12/10/2018 10:01

It's not a cost cutting exercise, their NOMAD resigned. That suggests there was something about CRAW they were unhappy with.

[sid share] 12/10/2018 09:46

The DD for a new nomad would take the majority of the 30 days. My view is the change of nomad is a cost cutting exercise. Another tick for the new Directors.

The fastest growing markets are
No1 Discounters
No 2 Convenience stores
No 3 On line

Given that Crawshaws tick the box on Value, that makes them the best placed to take on the discounter .

Their new partnership with the Spar outlets tick the box on the convenience market.

And their amazing vision to take their Yorkshire beef concept on line is visionary.

It seems that the new leadership team are stabilising a business that’s clearly lacked direction over the last 3years.

I believe they have only been there 4 months and have achieved more than anyone could wish for.

Well done. Keep on going the way you are!

[optomistic] 10/10/2018 16:56

What happens if they don't find one in the 30 days and we are delisted, what value do our holdings have if that happens?
