Been doing a bit of digging and this looks a cracking buy, very illiquid though and not very fashionable. Even so people must pick up on this soon

Dispute it's apparent lack of movement it has only moved in one direction this last year and isvup 400%

Looks like the management have done a great job over the last year.

well, you cant bloody buy any ,at offer, not even 500 shares

I bought them when they were CSV. CSV were then bought by the Carlisle Group and became Impellam. Always use to be big turnover but loss making however there is new vigour in them now.

Interesting nobody commenting any more.Interims indicating selling around 3x

Good cost control but poor cash flow ..........but despite size and cheap rating few investors want to be involved with an Ashcroft controlled company

[waterloo01] 18/2/2010 17:07

Update due Monday. Which way will it go? If they have controlled costs and seen any increase in revenue, then this should trade a lot higher (if anyone apart from me is interested that is!)

[waterloo01] 05/1/2010 13:31

Overdue an update if anyones interested. Should make good reading.
