[janeann] 03/7/2015 16:21

well I bought immediately before the recent dip - in fact right at the peak, and was starting to get concerned as the price dropped away. Pleasantly reassured today that I didn't panick into selling.

[martinc] 03/7/2015 16:04

So irritating!.. had this on my shortlist for ages.. decide to buy this afternoon and they've rocketed; none available at less than 195p. That'll teach me to procrastinate...

[battlebus2] 03/7/2015 15:20

Yes fair value £3...

[stegrego] 03/7/2015 15:14

Penna
Penna further strengthens Recruitment Solutions business with CIPFA and 360
We are further growing our Recruitment Solutions service line by forming strategic partnerships with the Chartered Institute of Public Finance (CIPFA) - the only body that represents finance workers in the public sector, and acquiring 360 (Career Café) the recruitment advertising and communications business.

CIPFA is a highly regarded membership organisation and the go-to place for public sector finance leaders and professionals, and has seen significant growth of its interim and search recruitment business in recent years. With Penna’s significant presence in the public sector, and specifically interim and search, a strategic partnership with CIPFA’s recruitment function brings an expanded offer to the market and further supports the attraction, development and transition of top talent into the public sector.

Speaking about the move, CIPFA Chief Executive Rob Whiteman said: “CIPFA sees this exciting move to transfer its Recruitment Business into the safe hands of Penna as a partnership for real growth. Together we will have the opportunity to increase the value and income from this area of business by bringing together two leading public sector executive recruitment brands which can quickly grow market share and consolidate a market leading business for sourcing executive interim and permanent finance leaders."

360, whose clients include Qinetiq, Civil Aviation Authority, Estee Lauder, and Penguin Random House is also regarded as one of the market leaders in the higher education and student marketing sector with clients including Warwick, Leicester and Liverpool Universities. The acquisition of 360 will further strengthen Penna’s presence in the higher education marketplace and support our ongoing commercial sector growth. Roger Juniper, Chief Executive of 360 will be joining Penna to support the transition and merger.

He said, ““The recruitment communications and marketing sector has never been more competitive. Hiring and retaining top talent is at the top of the agenda for many leadership teams. Agencies need to be agile and quick to adapt to the evolving needs of recruiters in both the commercial and HE sectors. I believe that 360 can do this is, by being part of a larger organisation with wider services, which is why we have chosen to partner with Penna. We feel there’s a natural synergy in terms of values and vision and this relationship will provide tremendous opportunities for 360 clients and employees.”

Gary Browning, CEO of Penna Plc, said of the growth of Penna’s recruitment solutions business, “Partnerships like those we’ve established with CIPFA and 360 allow us to have an even more competitive presence in the recruitment solutions market. We’re delighted that organisations with such an impressive market position, expertise and history are working with us and look forward to bringing an expanded offer to our clients.”

Posted on Monday Jun 22
Penna, the global people management business, has revealed the success of a three year recruitment campaign with BMW Group UK, supporting the organisation to attract and retain quality talent
In 2012, Penna was retained by BMW Group UK to embark on the development of a new end-to-end recruitment solution for its UK Retailer network, with the primary aim of attracting, selecting and retaining candidates from inside and outside of the motor industry. 90 new sales executives, service advisors, sales managers and technicians were recruited in 2014, and an estimated 160 are expected this year, with the addition of the technician role, across nearly 150 BMW and MINI Retail Centres across the UK, which collectively employ approximately 16,500 individuals.

Penna focused on BMW Group UK’s key values ‘Joy’ for BMW and ‘Excitement217; for MINI when developing the strategy, to ensure the candidate experience was a true reflection of the brand, encouraging engagement at the first instance. The continuing partnership between BMW and Penna is thanks, in part, to the significant success of the initial pilot scheme which prompted 80 BMW and MINI Retail Centres across the UK to utilise the centralised recruitment process.

Commenting on the success of the campaign, Julie Towers, managing director of Penna Recruitment Solutions, said, “We are delighted to announce the continuation of our work with BMW Group UK. By increasing the level of brand and candidate engagement, we have been able to create an effective process to secure the right applicants from the best and most desirable talent pool for the business. Each stage of the recruitment process was designed individually for BMW and MINI, with every staff member involved having brand training to give candidates a good idea of the BMW culture – which was absolutely essential for us to capture. We look forward to continuing our relationship with BMW, and to supporting them in the attraction and development of future talent.”

[battlebus2] 11/6/2015 18:18

No doubts this is going higher foxman, the longer we hold the more we will make. Cashing in the dividends meantime, if we don't see some appreciation from the market a predator will come calling imv.

[foxman14] 11/6/2015 10:18

Still think this has further to travel based on an assumption that at this price the p/e for this year is c.10. So topped up this morning! Hopefully the seller will be exhausted soon.

[battlebus2] 10/6/2015 21:58

Stegrego there's been constant selling over the last few months when I've been buying, not sure it's a PI, could be someone within the co.
