Very solid results and dividend pretty much confirmed. Hopefully, it will be enough to at least attract some attention!

No response from either their financial consultants or from the finance director. Very disappointing when businesses don't reply to short, simple and polite questions from shareholders.

Hi mongrels,

Held this for a while now and it’s not really moved at all as you can see. Hoping for some decent results to get some upwards movement. Let me know if they reply with an announcement date?

[mongrels3] 15/1/2018 10:56

Is there anyone following this one. It looks like it could be interesting in the next week or so with results due. I have contacted them today to try and get a date for the 'mid Jan' final results announcement. Looked a positive update in November and some interesting holders as well... Woodford, Dbay.

Any views?

Hi Lozzer, I've got confidence this will start to move up now. The market makers have been manipulating this, as there was a tree shake yesterday morning (because they must have had a significant buyer) and before the markets opened this morning, they adjusted the price again by knocking off 2p per share. However, as you say, results are pretty decent and some upward movement this afternoon inspite of all this...just hoping this continues!

Results look good and 400k of shares bought this morning yet share price has not moved. What's going on?

[minerve] 11/8/2017 10:04

Consensus forecast for dividend (taken from the FT) is 5.55 (2017) followed by 6.35p (2018).

OK. So there are a few of us here, good. Sometimes found myself on my own.

At some point they'll declare their maiden dividend. That should be a positive unless it's not very much.

[lozzer69] 11/8/2017 08:25

Interim results 31 august so I'm waiting till then to see if they give share price a bit of a push upwards.

[clash1965] 10/8/2017 21:07

My target 185-190 . Patience.

[edmate] 10/8/2017 10:05

Yep. Slow progress so far. One for the patient...

[minerve] 08/8/2017 15:48

Anyone actually following this or not?

[zangdook] 12/7/2017 07:53

Dunno, round about now?

[lozzer69] 10/7/2017 09:30

Supply chain firms feeling the pinch, says Begbies Traynor
18 April 2017 | 07:17am
StockMarketWire.com - Britain's vital supply chain firms are starting to feel the pinch, with more companies showing increased signs of stress, according to new research from insolvency firm, Begbies Traynor.

Its latest Red Flag Alert showed that in the first quarter levels of 'Significant' financial distress within key sectors of the UK supply chain had risen by 26% on average over the past year following increased cost pressures from rising inflation in both fuel and food prices.

It said this followed the news that UK inflation rose to 2.3% in March, its highest level since September 2013, with transport costs being the biggest contributor, increasing 6.6% over the past 12 months.

Of all the sectors covered by the research, Industrial Transportation & Logistics businesses experienced the largest increase in 'Significant' distress, up 46% year-on-year (Q1 2017: 7,539 companies), with a 16% increase in the Wholesale sector (Q1 2017: 7,706 companies) and a 15% increase in the Food & Beverage Manufacturing sector (Q1 2017: 6,405 companies).

It said: "Worryingly, these negative findings are yet to reflect the recent increase to the National Living Wage that came into effect on 1 April 2017, which is likely to add even more pressure to the margins of these key sectors in the UK supply chain, which have a relatively high reliance on lower paid and temporary workers."

Begbies Traynor partner Julie Palmer said: "Levels of financial distress have increased significantly over the past year, and nowhere more so than in the Transportation and Logistics sector, which continues to be severely hit by ongoing fuel price inflation.

"Given the scale of the increases in distress during Q1, it would appear that food suppliers, logistics firms and wholesalers are yet to fully pass on these rising costs to their customers.

"But it is only a matter of time before we start to see this coming through, especially given the added margin pressures associated with the new National Living Wage.

"Once those costs ultimately feed through to consumers, we'd expect further pressure on sectors exposed to discretionary spending such as retail, bars and restaurants, travel and leisure."

Executive chairman Ric Traynor added: "These figures show that rising energy and food prices, combined with the devaluation of sterling, have undoubtedly put a strain on the much of the UK's supply chain.

"As we wait to see what a future UK trade agreement with Europe might look like, these suppliers face continued uncertainty, not just in terms of their European distribution channels but also with regards to staffing, given their higher reliance on European migrant workers.

"It is clear that UK suppliers, wholesalers and manufacturers can't afford to adopt a 'wait and see' approach - they'll need to rapidly invest to improve their efficiency or renegotiate prices with customers to avoid the risk of falling into more severe financial distress in the coming months."
