And just LAST WEEK we got :

Nord Anglia Education PLC said Lorene Simpson has resigned as
group finance director.
Simpson has been with the group since its flotation, working alongside
former chairman, Kevin McNeany and managing director, David Johnson, both of
whom have left the business in the course of the last two years. She has
indicated to the board that now is the right time for her to move on as the
business prepares to move into a new phase of its development.
The company said it has appointed Stephen Hyde as interim group finance
director with immediate effect and has started the search to identify suitable
candidates for the position of group finance director on a permanent basis.
Nord Anglia also said its interim results for the six months ended Feb 28
are expected to be released towards the end of May.

LOL !!!!

Recent RNS :

NordAnglia Education PLC said that its profits for the
current financial year will be "significantly lower" than market expectations
due to a further deterioration of the performance of its nursery division.
However, it still expects earnings per share to be similar to or better than
last year.
The group also said it is in discussions with its principal lender regarding
any possible implications for its banking arrangements arising from this profit
warning.
NordAnglia said the lender has been supportive and the company said it is
confident they will be able to resolve any banking issues that might arise.

Press comment.......... Fundraising fears continued to unsettle Nord Anglia, the UK's biggest private nursery operator. Its shares closed 16.5p lower at 103.5p, but with property assets estimated to be worth £60m, some traders think the company could be a takeover target - although any bidder would have to be prepared to take on its debt, which stands at around £48m. Nord Anglia's market value is just £40m.

PEERS CARTER rates this a strong sell and as the leader in this field one should listen to the 'Old Master' who really knows about the state of the UK private schools and nursery market. Flybynight companieas should heed the old kind old F@rt

Looks like KEV and his mates are still dumpning poor old NAE,unloved and unwanted.

[seangwhite] 28/4/2005 09:35

Another of the old CHEADLE mafia rides off into the sunset, no doubt she sold a load of her shares last year following our KEVS lead.

well the market doesnt seem to have seen it positively, or is that a bit of tree-shaking going on?

[entj] 13/4/2005 14:29

plenty of positive news in the notifialbe interest announcement just released

[wiganer] 13/4/2005 11:32

Disappointing start to the day, but still hopeful, as the analysts get their calculators out and factor in the Ofsted contracts...

[wiganer] 12/4/2005 19:27

I bought in early today on back of recovery momentum supported by ofsted contract news. Wished i'd had the nerve to buy at the bottom when it hit 93p, but things looked a little less clear cut then than they do now. Seems to be a nice volume of buys, and am hopeful for a bit more upside, though I very definitely don't see it recovering to the pre-collapse level soon if ever.

Nice post-bell RNS re Devon CC buying in big. I'd be surprised if their advisor would have had the temerity to tell them to buy into this unless they were VERY confident of their "bouncebackability".

[capercaillie] 12/4/2005 18:41

The long haul back!
