there better be VERY good news or watch out for the reversal in share price has climbed a lot recently seemingly on anticipation of a positive statement which can't be far off! Still even if there was a reversal GBG is now well placed to weather storms and it seems onwards and upwards in the medium/long-term

Bought these 3 years ago for what I recall was a price of 55p - my best share so far. Just seems to be grinding higher - anyone any idea why?

[hotfinance14] 16/3/2015 15:42

This is heading for 200p.

[felix99] 16/3/2015 13:42

I'm holding my stock tightly for sure :-)

[wolansm] 16/3/2015 12:39

Tightly held stock here

[hotfinance14] 11/3/2015 11:31

There is usually a trading update mid April.

[broadwood] 11/3/2015 10:27

I imagine a trading update is not far away - market anticipating positive news building on the strong November statement.

[hotfinance14] 11/3/2015 10:15

300p is too high a premium.

I don't think there is a bid on the way..more like a re-rating.

[wolansm] 11/3/2015 09:54

Low volume and nice increases, could someone be sniffing around if they are £3 imo

[hotfinance14] 06/3/2015 15:11

The share price is on the move again...next target 200p.

[hotfinance14] 04/3/2015 13:05

Could be a re-rating and thus the share price increase.

[wolansm] 04/3/2015 12:20

This is smokin

[hotfinance14] 26/2/2015 10:22

Results in April will push this to around 175p.

[wolansm] 26/2/2015 09:18

[hotfinance14] 24/2/2015 08:58

[jombaston] 23/2/2015 18:06

A 15-year high anyway!

The difference is this time GBG is making a profit and paying dividends!

[hotfinance14] 23/2/2015 15:56

[stig2] 03/2/2015 14:53

[hotfinance14] 03/2/2015 14:23

We need to break this 150p-160p range.

[hotfinance14] 03/2/2015 14:08

It would be as sweet as one of Mr Kiplings pies.

[wolansm] 03/2/2015 13:48

Gently does it a nice gradual rise then whooooosh £3.50 for a takeover,.... That would be nice

[hotfinance14] 29/1/2015 14:44

I am happy to see an acquisition every year with the dividend and share price increasing.

[wolansm] 29/1/2015 13:44

Should get another leg up

Text of upbeat interview with GB Group CEO in North West Business Desk internet site, Jan 28th, 2015

THE boss of technology company GB Group has revealed a bold strategy of international acquisitions and organic growth.

Richard Law wants AIM-listed Chester-based GB, which provides online ID and verification services, to grow revenues five-fold to £300m by 2020.

He told TheBusinessDesk the group, which has already bought a business in Australia, is actively seeking acquisitions in North America, South America and Europe.

"It is an ambitious target, but there is nothing wrong in aiming high. We believe that around half of our growth will be delivered by acquisitions, and this of course means we have to find the right businesses to buy at the right price.

"We have growth pretty quickly recently, there is a very favourable market for the kinds of things we do - which essentially is enabling organisations to do business with their customers more safely online."

Under Law's stewardship GB Group, which is based at Chester Business Park, has grown its market valuationby nearly 40 times since 2002, from £5m to around £190m.

"We see this as just the start. We have made seven acquisitions on the last four years and the pipeline looks pretty healthy, both in the UK and and overseas."

GB Group now has 460 staff. The majority, around 200 are in Chester, while the company also has UK offices in Nottingham, London, Glasgow and Edinburgh.

Law says the North West is a good location for technology businesses, and has no problem recruiting staff, due to the company's proximity to Manchester and Liverpool and of course Chester.


He believes the arrival of the BBC has brought the tech-sector some critical mass, and believes the endeavours of the local authority leadership in Manchester has been helpful too.

"I have spent some time with Sir Howard Bernstein and Sir Richard Leese in Manchester on their project to make Manchester and the region a real hub for technology, and it's good to see there are initiatives like this going on.

"MediaCity has helped too, and there are some great technology businesses here as well- NCC Group, Response Tap and RealityMine. I'm also on the board and an investor in Car Loan for 4u, which is based in Macclesfield and is growing reall well."

Law says the company's AIM listing has "worked well" as it has given it access to capital and the firepower to make seven acquisitions. The opportunity to offer staff and potential vendors shares has been a positive too.
