This should put 5p on the OFEX stocks.

[oliverleftwingtit] 21/11/2003 20:33

Only interesting if indeed there is a competitive envoirement and spreads are reduced and liquidirt improved. I for one will only put the flags out once I see it working in a pro like way.

DEPARTING HEAD OF AIM BECOMES
CONSULTANT TO OFEX

OFEX plc is delighted to announce the appointment of Simon Brickles, currently
Head of AIM at the London Stock Exchange, as a consultant to the OFEX Board.

Mr Brickles will be assisting in the development, expansion and promotion of
OFEX both domestically and internationally upon joining the market in this role
in mid January 2004.

Mr Brickles brings a wealth of experience, particularly from his time at AIM,
which has gone from strength to strength under the leadership. Following his
expert promotion of the market, over 100 new companies joined AIM in 2002, more
floats than any other European market.

Commenting on the appointment, Jonathan Jenkins, Joint MD of OFEX, said:

'Simon's expertise, experience, contacts and enthusiasm within the smaller
companies markets is well respected both in the UK and abroad, but at no place
more so than at OFEX. We have worked alongside Simon during his time with AIM,
and both parties have always been very supportive of the successful three-tier
market in the UK. The success and recognition of the AIM brand is largely a
result of Simon's stewardship of the considerable AIM community.'

WINTERFLOODS TO MAKE MARKETS IN ALL
OFEX SECURITIES

The OFEX Membership Committee is pleased to announce the approval of the
application from Winterflood Securities ('WINS') to join the OFEX market place
as a market maker member - a 'specialist'.

The approval is conditional upon the move of the OFEX market into a competing
quote driven system during 2004, and is therefore subject to appropriate
regulatory and technical approvals. Once these issues are resolved, WINS have
undertaken to make a market in all OFEX securities. WINS have also agreed to be
represented on an OFEX advisory board, which is currently being put in place.
This will enhance consultation with our members to ensure any change to the
existing market model is implemented in a manner that benefits all members of
the OFEX community.

Jonathan Jenkins, Joint MD of OFEX said: 'WINS is a name synonymous with small
cap company trading and we are delighted that they have committed themselves
so fully to the expansion of the OFEX market. Existing specialists - Teather &
Greenwood Ltd and J P Jenkins Ltd - have also formally agreed to move to
competing quotes in 2004, and we have at least one further organisation in the
specialist application process, subject to the move to a competing model. It is
envisaged that all of these specialists will be represented on the advisory
board.'

Julian Palfreyman, Managing Director of Winterflood Securities, commented: 'We
are pleased to join OFEX and we look forward to offering a market making
service in all OFEX securities. This will bring further benefits to our clients
not only through the enhancement of our already substantial coverage of UK
equities but also by opening up access to OFEX securities via Winner - our
electronic trading service.'

And it looks like that will happen soon!

[big black dog] 05/11/2003 09:23

Ofex volume has been very good for the last 3 months. Sure they had a difficult time, now boom times are back.

Some Ofex stocks are trading better than some AIM stocks. Winterflood is just one of the groups that want to become Market Makers.

[outsider] 05/11/2003 09:19

The start of your Thread is August 2002.....Is it about to go bust?


Well it's Now November 2003, & guess what, you still writing the same drivel.


No doubt in 2004, we will get some more of the same......Wonder why you are so keen for them to fail HE Went? .....seems a bit unhealthy to be posting about it for 15 months now?

[h e went] 05/11/2003 07:54

I heard winterflood is going to start to make a market in ofex, what a shame as i think ofex will be bust soon (it must certainbly need more funds soon)

[m1connection] 26/10/2003 17:12

Is the OFEX show is on in Febuary at the Barbican business centre ?

[m1connection] 26/10/2003 17:10

Glenn....that's more for DB, but I hear where you're coming from....lol !

[broomsticks] 26/10/2003 16:42

I'm sure that you didn't mean to be disparaging about disabled people, did you?

[outsider] 26/10/2003 15:59

Wouldn't be suprised if most who post anti-ofex have had their fingers burnt due to their own investing abilty...or should that read disabilty?

Either that or they are involved with a rival market perhaps?

[m1connection] 26/10/2003 12:10

Markets like OFEX have their place on a highly selective basis and that means good companies that will move on to the likes of AIM.

[m1connection] 26/10/2003 12:09

Good to see that Glenn and Ashley are just getting along fine....lol !

[simonevans] 26/10/2003 11:34

May have been more admissions than deletions recently, but none have raised any money except Enhance Technologies that is coming in a week. OFEX are going to go down unless they get their game on the road soon! At the end of the day this market has massive potential - it is time for a bigger player to take over.

[h e went] 18/10/2003 16:07

disgusting to think at any moment ofex companies can not pay their membership fees and investors are out to dry. rubbish unregulated market imho,

[glennborthwick] 18/10/2003 10:50

jpjl.co.uk free trading facility
why use ofex when you can use jpjl for free
this is the end of ofex. rip

[simonevans] 04/9/2003 21:36

New initiative again today...pity that there still hasn't been a single Ofex float for months!!...excluding the odd introduction which don't attract much in the way of fees (if any at all!).

[outsider] 04/9/2003 00:30

Ofex interview here:

[simonevans] 21/8/2003 21:20

Price moving-up strongly. Maybe this is a sign that OFEX activity is ticking-up...Teather and Greenwood involvement would be a big +, but they desperately need some new issues that raise new funding. Daniel Stewart and Ruegg seem to have given up recently!
