[haystack] 27/1/2005 22:24

Sure is going down!

[umpa lumpa] 27/1/2005 22:24

ok

but haystack isnt posting

[agincourt] 27/1/2005 22:22

I will not allow the idiot Haystack to do to this thread what he has done to so many others. On FBT, for example, he has been posting his repetitive rubbish non stop day and night for four and a half years. There are at least a dozen other threads he has wrecked. I will not spend years answering his useless drivel.

There are now four other threads for HLL, go to one of those.

Any post posts on this thread will be met with more of the above.

Try another thread. Let us see what the idiot Haystack does there.

I agree, Haystack should be put in a straight jacket and be thrown to the ducks, afterall Doctor Mad41t has given up all hope on the nutcase.

LOL !

Agincourt and Haystack forgets that other people have a holding in Hill Station and their behaviour is nothing short than disgraceful.

Mike can you set up a new thread on the pbb. I have set up a thread on the fbb :-

Hill Station ("Hill Station" or
"the Company") makes a range of British super-premium ice cream aimed at the
highest quality segment of the ice cream market;

 
Hill Station has consistently
garnered critical acclaim for the quality and originality of its ice creams;

 
The Company has traded successfully in Tesco, Sainsbury's, Waitrose
and Somerfield, and all four of these major multiple customers have offered
significantly increased listings to Hill Station this year.  Directors
anticipate that by November 2004 Hill Station branded products will be stocked
in over 1,000 stores owned by these customers compared to approximately 160
such outlets in 2003;

 
Hill Station ice cream is well
established as a gourmet food brand in the independent retail trade in the UK
and is available in some 250 fine food stores and delicatessens across the
country;

 
Hill Station ice cream is also
served in a variety of restaurants, such as the OXO Tower Brasserie, the
Harvey Nichols 5th Floor Café and the Giraffe Cafés, as well as in airline
in-flight catering;

 
Hill Station was founded by
Charles and Gina Hall (Joint Managing Directors) in 1996;

 
Super-premium dairy ice cream is
a dynamic growth segment in the UK ice cream market;

 
Directors estimate that UK
retail take-home sales of super-premium and premium ice cream will grow from
approximately £224 million in 2003 to approximately £268 million in 2006;

 
Per capita ice cream consumption
is growing in the UK, but remains well below the level of many other developed
countries;

 
The Company's fundamental
marketing strategy is to create the best possible product, and to market it on
the basis of quality rather than price;

 
The Company is looking to
leverage the reputation it has in the industry for quality and innovation by
offering own-label ice cream production at the upper end of the market for
strategically selected customers.  The Company will develop distinct premium
(as opposed to super-premium) ranges for this large and growing segment of the
take-home ice cream market;

 
The Company is raising £1.4
million before expenses.  Daniel Stewart is the Nominated Advisor to Hill
Station.  JM Finn & Co is the Company's broker.  Admission to AIM is expected
to take place on 25 October 2004;

 
Pieter Totté will be joining the Company as non-executive
chairman.  He has extensive food industry experience and is non-executive
chairman of The Real Good Food Company (also AIM-listed); 

 
Hill Station is planning to lease and equip a new factory to
provide sufficient production capacity to accommodate the growth of Hill
Station super-premium branded products and new products planned by the
Directors over the next five years.

Agincourt - please could you remove the annoying ice-cream logo in the header, thanks.

Trufflefinder - Nice info, So it seems, HLL still need to get shelf space at Morrissons/Safeway and ASDA.

Grow up kid, only one thread is required.

SUPERMARKETS AND OTHER MAJOR MULTIPLE OUTLETS

 

 
TESCO

We've had a big breakthrough with Tesco
this year. Some 70-80 Tesco supermarkets already stock Hill Station - and, as of
early November, you'll also find a couple of our flavours in 300-400 Tesco
Express stores. In addition, many Tesco Express stores will be offering Hill
Station minitubs - just the thing for an instant mini treat. If you live in the
right parts of the country, you may also be able to order Hill Station from
.

WAITROSE

Selected Waitrose supermarkets - the
larger ones, as a rule - stock three, four or five Hill Station flavours. You
can't (yet) buy Hill Station on-line through Ocado, but you may be able to order
from .

SAINSBURY'S

You'll find Hill Station in nearly 100
Sainsbury's stores across the country. If you're in the right region, you'll
also be able to order our ice cream for home delivery from
.

SOMERFIELD

We're just starting out with Somerfield,
but you can already find a couple of Hill Station flavours in about 100 of their
outlets - including the nifty new "Market Fresh" stores.
