What sort of turnaround is expected over the coming weeks/months here? presuming that 50p/£1 + should be seen once the wider market wakes up?

Barely any posts over on LSE, would have thought there would be more on there today and across social media in general, is todays rise based on yesterdays results? or has there likely been a little leak of much bigger news about to be RNSed? Thanks

twodegrees :) I'm happy with my trading profit but I couldn't even buy half of that position back now even if I wanted to and with buys continuing it all augurs very well for that move above 10p imo...

[twodegrees] 25/5/2021 15:24

gleach23, you naughty man, you should have held....only joking, I have a long way to go before I will attempt to sell, the lack of stock is obviously pushing the price, lets hope that some news comes along to help sustain the price.

[gleach23] 25/5/2021 15:20

You'll only get a layman's view of the chart from me twodegrees but having had a squint at the 7 year chart my hope would be that we establish support above 10p and then at some point move on from there.

I must confess to selling a trading portion of my holding just now @ 9.05 but will hold the remainder to see if the above transpires.

Nice to see NBB proudly sitting atop the leader's board currently!

battelbus 2 obviously the market liked the results

[twodegrees] 25/5/2021 15:12

Has some news leaked ...every trade seems to be pushing the price along....

[battlebus2] 25/5/2021 15:12

10p is possible today. Who would’ve though !!

[twodegrees] 25/5/2021 15:11

WELL WELL, wakey wakey, cannot be much stock round, price moving up nicely, Gleach23, what are your price charts revealing.

[gleach23] 25/5/2021 11:47

Thanks twodegrees. I hadn't noticed it. It's a small amount as you say but it's consistent with there being only 1k of stock on offer today @ 7.5p.

The other thing I noticed yesterday was the increasing Bid price for the handful of sales that went through which is always encouraging.

[battlebus2] 25/5/2021 11:42

There’s demand that’s for sure, you can’t buy one share for less than 7.48p.

[battlebus2] 25/5/2021 11:42

Yes, thought it was a misprint?

[twodegrees] 25/5/2021 11:15

Good posts battlebus2 and gleach23. Hopefully the excellent work the company did to keep things stable during the past year will bear fruit as we move along....many many years have I waited and held on....with a huge loss on paper, maybe the turning point is upon us.

Did either of you notice the strange small buy yesterday at 7.8p

[gleach23] 25/5/2021 10:51

Hopefully this doesn't put the mockers on it but it is pleasing to note such an apparent shortage of stock available to buy. Hopefully the overhang that has seen us below 10p for the last 2 years may have cleared which should mean a swift move back over 10p imo.

Just 1k available to buy online all day yesterday and it's the same today despite the market quoted share price having improved to 6.5-7.5. Meanwhile there's good demand on the Bid for decent quantity well inside the spread @ 6.78p currently.

A commendable performance from #NBB in 2020 as they negotiated through Covid. NFI down 18% though they managed to keep EBITDA positive. Hopefully they can begin to scale up over the rest of 2021 alongside the economy reopening

Did Norman Broadbent not open an office in Manchester.

Recruitment platform, Hiring Hub, has appointed industry veteren Peter Searle as Chairman.

With over 30 years’ experience in the recruitment sector, Searle was the CEO of Adecco (UK & Ireland) for more than ten years, and Spring Group in between 2006 and 2009.

In addition to Hiring Hub, Searle is the Executive Chairman of Airswift and a Non-Executive Director of fellow Manchester-based recruitment tech company, Broadstone.

Hiring Hub is ranked among the UK’s top companies in the recruitment sector by independent review site Trustpilot. The marketplace is used by over 500 employers, including Deliveroo, Dyson and SSE, who use Hiring Hub’s network of vetted, rated and reviewed recruitment agencies to find quality candidates for hard-to-fill roles.

Based in Manchester’s Northern Quarter, Hiring Hub raised a further round of investment from existing investors Maven Capital Partners, VentureFounders, and Manchester Tech Trust Angels late last year, and is led by Founder and CEO, Simon Swan.

Swan said: “Peter is excited by our vision to place transparency and trust at the heart of recruitment. Our goal has always been to champion the value of recruitment agencies while using technology to facilitate better relationships between them and employers. Peter is right behind our mission, validating Hiring Hub’s ambition to make people feel good about recruitment.”

“Peter’s knowledge of both the recruitment industry and scaling companies is exceptional,” continued Swan. “He joins Hiring Hub at an exciting time. It has weathered the pandemic well and Peter supports the company’s plan to expand its products and services to further grow what is an enviable client base and recruiter community, capitalising on employers’ shift to web-based platforms.”

Searle, joins former N Brown boss Angela Luger and the ex-MD of Lorien PLC, Ian Brookes, on Hiring Hub’s Board as the company looks to use the recruitment sector’s Covid-accelerated transition to cloud-based recruitment platforms to its advantage.

Yep. 👍

[gleach23] 13/5/2021 12:06

More positive today twodegrees...'industry veteran' Peter Searle has picked up 6%

[twodegrees] 12/5/2021 12:26

2 RNS in one morning and both reporting %age sells....not looking good.

[twodegrees] 23/4/2021 20:01

battlebus2, are you a director in disguise.

[battlebus2] 22/4/2021 10:11

I think Mike has this company on a good path and if it wasn’t for Covid we would be a lot higher today. Im expecting news on M&A or atleast increasing teams for the creation of new hubs in the not too distant future.

[twodegrees] 21/4/2021 21:12

battlebus2, I love your optimism, but buyers get sucked in everytime as it rises and just as quick the mm's walk it back down, been doing this for years, nothing seems to be able to sustain the share price. Not even the past good results.

[battlebus2] 19/4/2021 09:21

A bit of interest this morning with a 100k buy at 6.35.

[battlebus2] 14/4/2021 15:08

It’s on the right trajectory and should continue higher.
