Breaking News neverforget...a trade...1000 sell @ 9.8p.

Hope you're satisfied now ;)

[neverforget] 05/9/2017 13:23

No trades no trades no point.

[neverforget] 04/9/2017 18:57

Pity us shareholders never get to hear.

[jbarker5555] 03/9/2017 21:58

Agreed, should be taken private

Really is 50g shares traded per week a reason to remain listed with all the associated listing costs?

[gleach23] 24/8/2017 16:02

Nice 50k buy this morning on NEX. Could do with a few more of them in the run up to the Sept interims.

This is 1 dull share

Who remembers the BMW showroom that EP turned down because it wasn't what Havelock did?

[neverforget] 21/8/2017 13:14

And the statement I posted was mubl and look at how it has risen today so selling not always a bad thing

That's all very well but don't you think that time should be given to deliver value? Although you could say that nearly 8 years have passed since the height of the financial crisis and no value has been added. You could even say from a bank support perspective that this is even riskier as the amount owed to the banks is significantly less, therefore they have less to lose.

From one of my holdings, isn't this what Hve should be doing?

The Group is a relatively small business and as such it is possible for investment in future performance or operating challenges to have a disproportionate effect on our short term financial performance. We are also sensitive to the costs of maintaining an AIM listing and these costs have a sizeable impact on the costs of administering the Group. These factors were taken into account as part of the strategic review and were relevant in reaching the conclusion that shareholder value should be maximised through a sale of the Group's trading businesses.

TT2 and you could say that Ramsey thought he was a law until himself expensing taxi rides from company meals for other people. Simple fact is that people stopped performing Ramsey included. Some people went maybe some more are to go one thing I can judge on is Peter mcallister is superb.

tonto12 Gillespie has ruled a department that has 75% failure in meeting estimated design hour targets. Put his own son in a supervisory roll ahead of better qualified employees. Thats called nepotism. Wallace department director of purchasing, became surplus to requirements moved to estimating director and became an even bigger failure.
Director of retail and leisure gets forced out of the door or leaves and they appoint someone who has less of a clue than she did as a temp replacement.
They appointed Barry Perkins someone who Knows the business has a proven track record a new face. Goodoldays is correct Havelock need new blood.
Or as or as Private Frazer would say were all DOOOOMED.

[tonto12] 18/8/2017 23:33

Goodoldays, as you appear to be in the know, what perceived failure were the three people you mention personally responsible for, other than your very clear ageism view, which is illegal and perceived as rather out of date thinking by most sensible people, generally age provides knowledge and experience and in some cases respect, other than in your case of course! Since you brought it up it is also worth remembering that dads army played a significant and strategic part in helping us win the war!!!

[neverforget] 17/8/2017 09:03

And you should post. But please post relevant information rather than information which is outdated. Personally I appreciate both good and bad.

[goodoldays] 17/8/2017 06:31

Tonto12, there are many ex employees that want to see Havelock succeed, of which I am one. True I sold my shares last year, but like many others if we could see positive changes within the company, we would re invest. So do not tell me to get off this site because I no longer have shares. The company has a new Chairman whom I fully endorse. My point is that there is now a new web site which should showcase "New Havelock" why put photos of employees in there that have been linked to the perceived failures of "Old Havelock" if photos are to be used they should portray a younge, vibrant, energetic group of people who will take this company forward, why do we showcase now? Dads Army!!!!

They have just completed the LFC store which quite frankly looks amazing. Education is certainly picking up and from what I hear they are moving away from their current bankers to ones that are more flexible. Moving out of Havelock House, no longer unaffordable grandiose. Looking to save around 1m per year. If they get the basics right then this should be making north of 1.5m in 2018.
But then it is havelock and as we have seen should is such a difficult word.
🤢🙀

Design part of the business seems to be winning new work. Expect update in interim results in late Sept

[neverforget] 16/8/2017 12:17

Seems to be a big focus. Heard that new sales team in place to focus on England. And we know Ramsey didn't do much there

[savvysurveyor] 16/8/2017 08:33

We got rid of all our experienced education area sales managers in England. I don't think any of the new ones we have in England have ever sold Educational furniture before or much since.

[horridharry] 16/8/2017 07:50

It's no surprise that the company is focusing so much on Education, British Thornton not delivering and a strapping opportunity within England. Historically they have never taken these opportunities I wonder if they have the structure to do so now?

[tonto12] 15/8/2017 22:42

Goodoldays, you posted on the 14/06/2017 that you had flogged the last of your
Havelock shares at a stonking loss last year, are you another ex employee with an axe to grind and nothing constructive to add to a site for active shareholders, why are you still here? Why don't you follow your shares!

[neverforget] 15/8/2017 07:15

First time I'm seeing this. Anyone else seen it?
