Arja, you need to ask Meanwhile. He is highly skilled in assessing the profitability of companies and their financial strengths and weaknesses. Everyone on this board defers to his superior knowledge. 🤣🤣🤣🤣9315;

GKN Aerospace’s vice-president of technology and innovation, Paul Perera will deliver a keynote and moderating a debate on the ‘Future of Flight’ at the forthcoming Bristol Technology Showcase, due to be held on Friday 8th November at Aerospace Bristol.

Perera will help customers understand how technology is driving differentiation, and looks as disruption in the future aerospace market. He has been working in GKN’s four Global Technology Centres to generate a business aligned technology strategy that brings the best of open innovation together, building on a collaborative environment.

The UK Global Technology Centre in Bristol, opening in 2020, exemplifies this co-creation model, working with industry across sectors, with supply chain partners and academia and supported by government. Its focus is on composites, additive manufacturing and automation using digital manufacturing (including artificial intelligence, robotics and mixed reality).

Bristol Technology Showcase (BTS) will focus on emerging technologies and themes encompassed in the 4th industrial revolution and what they mean to businesses. The event has an impressive line-up of speakers and GKN Aerospace will host a discussion on how the future landscape of aviation is about to be disrupted with a focus on sustainable aviation and the future of electrification Perera will be joined many other industry leaders debating various issues on the day.

Speaking about the event, BTS Founder Nick Rutherford said: “We’re delighted to be bringing a new discussion to Bristol and locating it at the home of Concorde. The speed of technological change is so quick today and it’s only going to get faster, exponential change is upon us. It’s wonderful to be able to host an event with some amazing technology companies, speakers and wider businesses and allow delegates to experience some of these technologies first hand. Great Bristol businesses, amazing technology and the ability to showcase and demonstrate them, it’s going to be a great day.”

GKN Aerospace’s Perera added: “it is exciting to be delivering a vision for future flight in the home of Concorde for 50 years and consider how the pace of technology can deliver another iconic technology progress and protect the environment with the goal of net zero emissions before 2050.”

Any good 'peaceful anarchist' will know how difficult it is to make even the most modest break in the stranglehold of the Establishment. The Establishment have themselves developed all the rules of engagement and all the laws of the land.

So it's not often that an opportunity arises to lawfully challenge the Establishment by way of its many conventions.
This is why we should push for the Conservative Party to engage with the Brexit Party, however far apart their visions of brexit may be, to defeat in the General Election, the much bigger enemy, the British Establishment.

Forget the Sun Life Over 50's Plan and join the Anarchist Branch of the Conservative Party today; make your voice heard.

Look at the recent outperformance here re the UK listed engineering sector,
it's striking.

Their e drive technology may turn out to be a major money spinner.

[gettingrichslow] 30/10/2019 14:50

Agree that’s how it looks at the moment but who knows what might happen over the next 6 weeks? A big Boris blunder is one possibility that could change things dramatically. Or some sort of tragedy or incident that he doesn’t respond to well?

It won't be a majority Labour government. Worst case it's a Labour minority
administration supported on a vote by vote basis.

Look at yesterday's Survation Cambridge (Westminster) poll,
it looks very, very grim for Labour.

[gettingrichslow] 30/10/2019 14:36

Jackdaw, if the Marxists get in then what happens to MRO is the least of our concerns. If there is any sign of it happening I’ll be selling everything I’ve got including my houses.

[essentialinvestor] 30/10/2019 13:47

It's the last major hurdle re GKN Jack, refereed to it previously (outside of macro events). A Corbyn led government is not in the current share price
That outcome may have large adverse implications. It looks very unlikely,
but never say never etc.
The flip side is that a Tory majority government is a further positive for MRO.

[jackdaw4243] 30/10/2019 13:26

How will MRO fair if Labour, SNP, Green ,Plaid and Liberals collectively form a coalition government - ensuring there will be a second referendum on EU membership and a Scottish referendum on independence.

Not heard of it Meanwhile but I’ll ask our cleaners on Tuesday what they use and get back to you.

Has anyone tried out the new Cillit Bang mould remover?

We don't currently have a mould problem, but I like to be ready for these things if they do come.

craven,

He may know his onions, as you put it, but can’t he think outside his own little box?

[cravencottage] 24/10/2019 21:01

If you do your homework my friend you'll appreciate EI knows his onions..

Dya follow..

Meanwhile luck to all holders.

My theory that Meanwhile is losing the plot seems to be strengthening. Those burgers have been out for a while. Very disappointing, but unfortunately, not surprising. 🍔

Interesting to see all 7 analysts on HL, inc GS, see MRO as a Buy.

NORTEK NEWS

“Nortek Air Solutions has introduced the CDU1200, a 1,200-kW coolant distribution unit (CDU) that’s the single most powerful, compact CDU on the planet, and the newest addition to its ServerCool data center liquid cooling product line.”

Definitely a growth area for Nortek.

It’s all ‘me, me, me’ with this Essentialinvestor fellow.

Can’t he think outside his own little box?

[essentialinvestor] 23/10/2019 10:06

I think we can forget 1.70 unless markets completely tank from here.

That's why I tend to buy in stages rather than setting an all or nothing
buying price, you can miss opportunities through inflexibility.

[bigalan3] 23/10/2019 10:01

Could the sale of Nortek be due soon?

[essentialinvestor] 23/10/2019 09:41

Lovely longer term upside here.
