04/2/2015 10:13 | I thought the main idea behind the IPO was to strengthen their balance sheet.. | nurdin | |
04/2/2015 08:50 | I'm surprised they got this away at all, quite a feat considering its bust-up balance sheet and loss-making recent history. The PI group behind it must be heaving a massive sigh of relief. | jonwig | |

05/7/2011 21:33 | This from Growth Company Investor: Profits surge at Highams 05/07/2011 Robert Tyerman Reduce text size Increase text size Print article Share this article Email article to a friend Niche recruiter Highams Systems Services (HSS) is winning new clients after hoisting annual profits 130 per cent to £303,000 pre-tax.The Caterham, Surrey-based company, which also provides IT and other consultancy and kindred services to insurance and financial companies, increased revenues 20 per cent to £9 million in the year to March, which it ended with cash up from £4,000 to £176,000 and no borrowings. Chaired by significant shareholder and former stockbroking chief Ken Ford, Highams drew a third of last year's revenue growth from new clients. Managing director Mark de Lacey says the current market is good, as companies in its sectors adapt to new possibilities in IT and e-commerce, while those in insurance prepare themselves for the impact of next year's European Union Solvency 11 reserve requirements, and those in banking adjust for the impending Basle 111 global capital adequacy ratios. Highams, which has been hiring to add to its mostly long-serving staff, increased the proportion of job-specific contracting recruitment, which is relatively more profitable and brings more repeat business, to 65 per cent of the total, as against 'lumpier' and more volatile permanent recruitment, which accounted for 35 per cent. With good banking analysts commanding £550 to £600 a day, the target is 80 per cent contracting and 20 per cent permanent. de Lacey wants to take Highams further into the asset management sector, where it already has a useful toe hold in Belgium, and sees Germany and Holland as particularly attractive markets. The company is opening a London office in the autumn to improve its client network and attract more sales people of the right calibre, and remains open-minded about corporate acquisitions. Analysts see Highams increasing pre-tax profits to £400,000 this year, with £500,000 on the cards for 2012-13, and bulls suggest £800,000 pre-tax is a possibility for 2013-14. By then, the company, which has been nursed back to health by the present board after previous losses, might have decided to return to the dividend list. Highlighted at 2p by Growth Company Investor in 2009, Highams shares have hit 4p over the past year and now trade at 3p, up 0.25p today, valuing the company at £2.1 million. A prospective p/e ratio of six seems grudging, and the shares should make further progress over the medium term. | orange1 | |
05/7/2011 17:36 | Look decent value. Flagged to me today and they look significantly undervalued on a market cap of £2.07m, margin improvement, PTP up, positive cashflow with net cash and all on a current PER of 4. Illiquidity & spread will put investors off and the company only update market on 3/4 occasions during a calendar year (AGM Statement, Interims & Finals) which won't interest many that are looking for a bit more excitement. Also looks like reinstatement of a D/V is on the cards this year if the improvement continues. Regards, GHF | glasshalfull | |

The Group's financial performance, along with an improved balance sheet and cash position, now provide Highams with the opportunity to build on its existing strong client base and to move into new specialist areas within the financial services arena." | orange1 | |
09/3/2011 15:06 | Well, what's happening here? Highams have 69 million shares in issue of which more than 53 million (or 77.375%) are tightly held by the Directors, Sanibel Investments, OMX Securities Nominees and E.l. Andrews but yesterday a sale of a little over 100,000 sent them plunging .25p! Any ideas? | meict | |
05/11/2010 11:16 | Just out of interest, HSS made The Times this morning with this in their 'Deal of the Day' column: 'Higham Systems Services shares jumped 1p to 4p on AIM as Seymour Pierce started coverage by applauding results and urging clients to buy them. The IT recruitment specialist for the insurance industry is chaired by Ken Ford, the former chief executive of Teather & Greenwood, the stockbroker bought by Landsbanki of Iceland in 2005.' This is not 'exactly' true as the Market Makers had lifted the share price to 4p before Seymour Pierce's statement was issued alas, it was really just a reiteration with the target price still at 4.5p. Finding no punters the MM's have already started dropping the share price | meict | |
04/11/2010 14:35 | Careful CR, you will have smellyjim on your case because your holding is so small, remember you and him are always attacking me if i have a small holding but why do you think i have small holdings, because the stocks are illquid, this of course confirms what an arrogant bitter person you are because you attack me for having small holdings in illiquid stocks calling me a penny share scalper but of course it's ok for you :-)) | scott84 | |
04/11/2010 14:32 | I remember exactly when i sold, it was on my birthday, i remember the day well and the price was 4.5p and it was many years ago, the thread is over 4 years old CR. But just to keep you happy i bought at the very high and sold at the very low and lost a fortune like i do with every stock i have ever touched. Strange how i'm making my living out of this game ? | scott84 | |
04/11/2010 14:30 | Nope - got 150k - too few to worry about. Can't get overly excited as they are too illiquid to hold a load but decent results imo. You sold at the bottom Hatey Boy lol! :-) CR | cockneyrebel | |

04/11/2010 10:42 | 04 November 2010 Highams aiming higher Interims from Aim-listed IT staff agency (ITSA) Highams Systems Services show a 17% rise in revenue to £4.41m for the six months to 30 September, and profit before tax of £128,000 (margin 2.9%), against just £40,000 in 2009. This is a sharp improvement on the 29% drop in revenue reported in FY10 (see Highams battles on), and sent Higham's share price up 33% to its highest point since 2008. Highams remains focused on its niche within the financial services and insurance sectors, and it has benefitted from longstanding relationships with existing customers. But importantly it's also been winning a "range of new clients" - a sure sign that conditions in its niche markets are improving and a testament to Higham's attractiveness versus its competitors. Chairman Ken Ford certainly thinks so, and expects a further improvement in revenue and profit in the second half. | aishah | |
