Empresaria Share Discussion Threads

A few interesting articles which highlight the potential here

The recruitment market -

The fall in German unemployment is coinciding with the emergence of a German recruitment industry, aided by the recent liberalisation of employment laws. The market is still very young, though - so much so, that some recruiters complain that they have to start some phone calls by explaining what a recruitment company actually does. But things are changing and, due to the industry's early stage of development, opportunities look substantial. So a number of UK players are now targeting this fledgling market, in the expectation that it could produce big returns in time.

The experience and professionalism of UK recruitment companies should also give them a head start when it comes to winning and keeping clients. So recruitment firms are helping German companies get around the lack of flexibility that still exists in the German labour market and German companies are slowly beginning to embrace their services.

What to buy for exposure: Empresaria

Earlier this year, acquisitive Aim-listed recruiter Empresaria bought a 60 per cent stake in German temporary staffing business Headway for GBP10m. And Headway looks particularly well-placed to benefit from the German recovery as it has 47 offices located in Germany, Austria and the Czech Republic. It is already generating E77m of turnover a year from the region, and makes profits before tax and interest of E3m. So it's poised to benefit from the increased use of temporary staff in Germany which, while being the second-largest user of temporary workers in continental Europe, only has a penetration rate of 1 per cent of the total national employed workforce. That compares with over 2 per cent in France and 5 per cent in the UK. Empresaria is also investing in other international growth markets, such as Asia.

Empresaria also said finance director Nick Hall-Palmer will move to the role of group development director once a replacement is appointed.

its businesses and in line with industry trends.

Hello...looks like MMs struggling to find stock here.

Edit...has this just been tipped somewhere??

Rovi57 - I have made some serious research on this co. Why do you think its hot air. Have you not got something constructive to say about emr. are you a holder. There are more buys today, so obviously other investors still think this co. is not overpriced with the growth prospects in mind..

[nickjoseph] 30/5/2007 13:38

I am happy with the rise so far. I am happy with it so far. Hope you lot are not jumping too late...

[this_is_me] 30/5/2007 13:19

It's up 80% since Feb. What more do you want Nickjoseph?

[nickjoseph] 30/5/2007 08:36

This thread is so quiet. Mentioned in IC twice, then again in Daily Express as one to tuck away, great results, more buys and price rises, At least anyone reading this is probably in on this share some time ago and purchased it cheap. Once it does get noticed it is sure to rise even further.

[nimzoi] 03/5/2007 12:16

Why the 12p drop today? Is it that the issue of 9.3m shares to buy Headway has diluted value by increasing the no. of shares in issue with no corresponding cash input?

Ooops wrong thread!

[this_is_me] 23/4/2007 10:51

It amazes me how many of my winners have so little interest from the chattering classes on the BBs.

[nickjoseph] 23/4/2007 10:38

Good results or as you say stonking. This should get the shares noticed. If the market makers would increase the deal amount then maybe more investors would pile in. Good luck to all holders. There is more to come...

[this_is_me] 20/4/2007 08:59

Stonking results.

[this_is_me] 12/4/2007 20:12

Buy tip confirmed by IC, results due soon.

[this_is_me] 16/3/2007 16:07

Retracement over?

[this_is_me] 07/3/2007 10:39

Onwards and upwards. Copying Mitie's way of operating seems to be working for them too.

[nickjoseph] 05/3/2007 08:48

Good old IC tipped this one on Friday. IC have been pretty good at their investment tips lately. Should get a good weekly rise on this if you can ride out the storm..

[this_is_me] 01/3/2007 10:37

Happy days!

[nickjoseph] 01/3/2007 10:35

The mm's are definately scared. Tried to buy £5k worth and they put the price up as I was interested. Cancelled order. bought £2k at £1.20 and then went back to get the others. The market order is 500 shares, Have these always been so hard to get hold of. Good luck to all you holders.

New update out on Edison today.

[this_is_me] 19/2/2007 09:13

the MMs must be scared of the 'buy on the rumour, sell on the news' syndrome. I expect the price to rise over the medium term.
