£100 M company making 73 % gross margin and they cannot make it work , corruption at the highest level for sure , lets hope they do a bit of porridge to make them see the errors of their ways.

[eeza] 11/10/2018 15:43

A lot of joking. However, there was no inkling of a problem - and the same could be happening in any other of your shares.

Grant thornton auditors may fold

[quepassa] 11/10/2018 15:35

re 1129.
Yes and no.

He's the guy ultimately overseeing the whole show including the audit committee and all corporate governance. Also he's the guy who gives presentations about how and how not to run businesses. Also he's the guy who is meant to be a top flight businessman.

So, this all happened on his watch and whilst he was at the helm. Maybe he was asleep at the wheel.


Don't blame the iceberg, if you've got an eye open you should be able to spot one before you hit it.

ALL IMO. DYOR.

Dragon's Den: So let's get this straight Luke, you want how much?

[haroldthegreat] 11/10/2018 15:30

as he is supplying Sainsbury perhaps they might like to bid for the company. The cakes are very good !

I would like to see what happens when he tries to get finance from investment companies in the future . see header above .

A few of the fund managers I’ve been meeting recently are familiar faces. In the intervening years they have backed countless winning and losing propositions from entrepreneurs involved with every type of endeavour. I come away from the question and answer sessions with renewed respect for their diligence and insight. It is unquestionably a field where time in the trenches counts. Youthful enthusiasm for the latest deal or technology has its place; but wisdom comes from analysing hundreds of companies, meeting countless management teams, learning which ventures will make most money. It is no coincidence that Warren Buffett, the best investor of all time, has been doing it for more than 60 years.

'Business ineptness aside, he does make exceedingly good cakes'

People have invested pensions into this

[hvs] 11/10/2018 15:26

Them CAKES were nice though. Bet the accountants loved em.

[haroldthegreat] 11/10/2018 15:24

how about Chairman of cake when the value of the company went from £446 Million to zero overnight . What about a proposal for the Guinness book of records ? One day destruction of a company with no warning .If we knew the cause perhaps the comments could be aimed at the perpetrator rather than the Chairman and the board .

[hvs] 11/10/2018 15:21

You must say they was nice CAKES though.

Apologies, for the childish humour. I was just attempting to lighten the mood.
