[safman] 10/3/2006 10:03

historically have a few in here, new MD ..would be good to see him buy a few / 150K @ 0.87 offered.

saffy..

[lord c.] 10/3/2006 08:51

No stock = no sellers. Could be the new MD buying.Expect an announcement if it is. AGM next week.

Hard to buy stock today. MMs had an unforgiveable 21% spread at one point in the day - later narrowed to 7%. Should we assume Warm Welcome is increasing its stake?

[carolineanne] 09/3/2006 19:28

Haven't heard any other news...I guess they think we're on a need to know basis...

[kir] 09/3/2006 15:49

Any reason why this is going up?

[charmer1_23] 09/3/2006 15:49

On the move today. Any news/views? Thanks

[carolineanne] 02/3/2006 22:08

well it 's about time... I reckon I could have done far better than the last one! New broom should wake everybody up...let's hope so anyway.

[lord c.] 02/3/2006 08:35

New man running the show and already the sales director has resigned.
Perhaps we might see some action.

Well I haven't a clue. I'm holding on anyway. There is a lack of info...and I'm no wiser if I check out the website. Product is good...but marketing decisions seem a bit old fashioned. Any idea?

[macli] 10/10/2005 20:11

what is going on with this company does anybody know

[carolineanne] 06/10/2005 11:49

Am I the only one looking at these shares?

[carolineanne] 07/9/2005 11:10

What is happening in the real world of JLH? Are these shares undervalued or are they on the way out? Someone enlighten me?

[opthalmist] 16/3/2005 13:52

Market cap of 1.1M, even with today's trading statement (weaker than expected demand), looks undervalued.

Yesterday's results are truly awful. I first posted my concerns about this company earlier in the year and I hope that others like me took the opportunity to offload their holdings. Looking through the detail of the results shows that this share is a dog.

For the last four years or so, there has been a recurring problem sometimes well hidden in the company reports concerning their inability to recruit and retain high quality staff. This appears to be a problem yet again.This time in addition, they seem to have made a right dog's dinner of running the shops whilst they concentrated on the opening a new flagship format.They only have around ten outlets - how hard can it be to keep a management eye on the other nine? With cash reserves falling,stock levels rising and sales down 25% on the key products, things are starting to look grim for them.

Clearly, they need to look very hard at how the stores and staff are managed.
In many companies, heads would roll for this level of sales performance.

it is a shame because the product offering is a good one,but like some other companies poor quality management is the key issue.

With a declining housing market, I cannot see a recovery on the horizon.

double6?, Hungerford?.

[responsible lad] 05/11/2004 14:15

This share should be called double6 of Hungerford, Thanks for the tip double6.

[responsible lad] 05/11/2004 11:13

This share would suite double6 down to a T, because of the hungerford in its name, "John Lewis of hungerford".

double6 are you buying any?.

As sales revenues for the year to 31 August 2004 are likely to be approximately
12% below those of the prior year to 31 August 2003, the Board expects that the
Company will report a pre-tax loss for the full year to 31 August 2004.

The decline in year-on-year sales is the result of a number of exceptional
factors including an acute shortage of design staff at several of the Company's
showrooms.

Most showrooms are now adequately staffed although many designers remain under
training. The Summer Sale has produced excellent results and the Company
currently has a strong order book.

[safman] 27/8/2004 12:09
