Delighted to see this back over 90p - just wish I'd got back in! I still have a doubt in the back of my mind that this may retrace back after the T/S as the last one read to me as a very well coded profit warning. Though let's not forget Havas are still in here and any further news from them would drive this higher.

GL to all holding. Could be some good gains here if the T/S improves on the last one.

Ah, cheers LL - I'll have to look at the web site more often!

IMS is 4th February according to their website.

[rivaldo] 24/1/2013 08:32

Up again this morning.

The trading statement last year was on 27th January, so this year's must be any day now.

[paulypilot] 23/1/2013 23:08

Trading statement imminent I think. Last one was OK, so fingers crossed.

PP.

[rivaldo] 23/1/2013 16:02

New recent highs now...

divi
I would estimate 3p final and "next" fin. year's interim to be 1.2p....(using similar increases to in the past)
if so, it would give 4.2p

4.2/84p = approx. 5%

....pretty good imo noting the low income available from other sources, like a bank account.....and flat state of European economy.

(and divi is only a part of the EPS and CRE has low or negligible debt....so the divi should be relatively safe (relative to other divi payers that have high debt levels), although of course nothing is g'teed in stock market)

I've picked up a few as well. Looking good on the chart imo.

Riv, less of the old please!

I do fear though that the t/s is going to knock this backwards somewhat, so I've not re-entered the fray just yet. Though the Director buy was certainly a welcome surprise.

[rivaldo] 11/1/2013 09:10

Good to see the old crowd buying back in now :o))

It would be great to see Havas increasing their stake a little. With a trading statement due in the next 2-3 weeks perhaps this wil push them into action.

[madengland] 10/1/2013 15:41

Looks like that was a kiss off death, sorry, lol

[madengland] 10/1/2013 15:10

and a bit of a ;-) if you know what i mean Harry. gla. i am out at 110p

[madengland] 10/1/2013 15:02

yep, not a long term buy, too many years and tears long terming cre, but like the director buy, news 4/2, share price creeping up and pe still low so a punt

[funkmasterp12] 10/1/2013 14:58

Your buy ME? ;)

[madengland] 10/1/2013 14:55

23095 was a buy, not the sell reported

[madengland] 10/1/2013 14:54

Back in.......gla

This should bring about cost savings and synergies across the Group, "to meet the increasing demand from clients for a 'one- stop' full-service offer":



"Creston plc : Creston co-locates in Soho
01/09/2013| 11:15am US/Eastern
Press Release
09 January 2013
Creston co-locates London-based agencies and headquarters in Soho

Creston plc, the Insight and Communications Group, is co-locating its London-based agencies: creative influence agency TMW, PR and social media group, Nelson Bostock, market research group, ICM and its own headquarters, into 10 Great Pulteney Street, London, W1F.

Comprising 45,000 square feet and spanning six floors, Creston will occupy the whole property which is located in the heart of London's Soho. TMW will be the first of the agencies to re-locate to Soho in May and it is intended that the building will be fully occupied by the Group by October 2013.

The co-location of Creston's London-based agencies marks the final stage of the Group's long-term co-location strategy which has seen its three US agencies co-locate in New York, its South West agencies co-locate in Bristol and its UK-based Health companies move to one premises in Richmond, Surrey.

While each agency will retain its own dedicated space and identity within the one building, the co-location will enable Creston's London-based agencies to work more closely together, creating a shared environment where its 'innovation through collaboration' and 'Better Together' approach can thrive.

In particular, the move will facilitate even closer co-operative working between the Group's PR and digital marketing agencies, to meet the increasing demand from clients for a 'one- stop' full-service offer. Additionally, by co-locating market research specialist ICM with its other marketing services businesses, the Group intends to continue to build on the concept of 'Insight inside' bringing the deep sector and consumer knowledge from its Insight division into its Communications agencies to gain unique consumer perspectives.

Don Elgie, Group Chief Executive of Creston plc commented: "The move to Great Pulteney Street will create an environment where collaborative creativity can flourish, really bringing our Better Together approach to life. We have already seen tangible benefits from co- location across the Group in New York, Richmond and Bristol and with London marking the final stage of our co-location strategy, I am excited by the synergy opportunities the Group is now perfectly positioned to exploit.""

This is starting to look like a serious upturn - some volume coming in this morning too.

[rivaldo] 09/1/2013 15:07

...and again (slowly).

[rivaldo] 08/1/2013 11:41

...and up we go again.

[daz] 07/1/2013 16:25

Turning around quicker than I expected, but not complaining :)

[rivaldo] 07/1/2013 16:18

Ending the day nicely - looks like you're right Daz.

[daz] 07/1/2013 13:52

Looking at the chart, the recent downtrend has been broken with the uptrend from July still in place, so I'm optimistic for further gains from here.
