Looks like a large countrywide contract win for Centrica:



"PTSG cooking with gas for Centrica

Premier Technical Services Group PLC (PTSG) has secured a multi-disciplinary contract with the British gas and electricity supplier Centrica.

Multi-disciplinary teams from PTSG will be deployed across the UK to carry out lightning protection and fall arrest testing, providing the vital certificates that demonstrate that Centrica sites are safe and compliant for staff and visitors.

Centrica is the largest supplier of gas to domestic customers in the UK and one of the country’s largest electricity suppliers. This nationwide contract will see PTSG operatives travelling to 115 Centrica sites to provide these vital specialist services...."

Another decent-looking one for Leeds Council:



This one is described as "a significant Access and Safety contract at Mailbox Birmingham":



And another at Syon Park:

Amati are large investors in PTSG, and their quarterly newsletter just out yesterday features PTSG nicely:

"Premier Technical Services Group (“PTSG”) - PTSG is the UK’s leading provider of a range of building maintenance and safety services. These include tall building access and fall arrest equipment, lightning protection and electrical testing, steeplejack and rope access services, and fire solutions. The group employs more than 600 people across 17 UK sites, and services more than 150,000 buildings for over 17,000 customers. Despite more than twenty acquisitions over the last ten years, PTSG has no more than a 9% market share across its divisional activities, which illustrates both how fragmented its end markets are, and also the potential for further consolidation. By their nature, PTSG’s services are mainly non-discretionary and recurring, often linked to annual insurance reviews or building inspections, and involve skilled engineers so that margins are attractive.

Alongside its acquisitions, PTSG is achieving solid organic growth with the potential to enhance this through cross-selling. At present, 90% of clients take only one service line. Following the Grenfell tragedy, there is significant demand for the sprinkler systems and dry risers supplied by the fire solutions division. PTSG is run by a very experienced management team, who previously built and sold a similar services group to Interserve plc for £120 million in 2006. The company is held in the TB Amati Smaller Companies Fund, the Amati AIM VCT and the Amati AIM IHT Service."

rivaldo,
The Company Secretary's bed and ISA looks strange and I can only assume it's been done through different brokers.
Normally you pay around £50 plus 2 dealing fees for the transaction, if done through same broker.
Thanks for your PTSG presentation notes on 3rd May, much appreciated.

Nice contract win, cheers cottoner (better than the pun! Daley...groan....).

Interesting RNS just now too, with the Company Secretary sheltering some shares from tax in his ISA. Now why would he do that I wonder....

PTSG announce contracts almost on a DALEY basis.

Today's is :


PTSG WINS GOLD CONTRACT WITH DECATHLON

Premier Technical Services Group PLC’s (PTSG) Electrical Services division has received an order to carry out a number of specialist services at Decathlon superstores across the UK.

Skilled engineers will be deployed to Decathlon’s 26 UK stores to carry out fixed wire testing (FWT), portable appliance testing (PAT) and lightning protection services to ensure that its employees and customers, as well as the stores themselves, are protected from electrical faults and lightning strikes. This will be no mean feat, as the average size of Decathlon superstores is around 4,000m².

Decathlon, founded in France, is the largest sporting goods retailer in the world. The company currently has over 1,100 stores across 38 countries, with its first UK store opening in 1999.

PTSG has a large portfolio of retail clients, including recent contract wins with Tesco, Morrisons and DFS. In 2016, the Group received the Partners in Retail award at PFM’s partnership awards for its outstanding work to provide fall arrest services at M&S stores across the UK.

Two more contract announcements:



"PTSG keeps London hospitals operating with PAT services

Premier Technical Services Group PLC (PTSG) has completed essential Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) at several London hospitals.

Work was carried out on behalf of CBRE at St Mary’s Hospital, Charring Cross Hospital and Hammersmith Hospital, which are all part of the Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, and Royal Berkshire Hospital and Chelsea & Westminster Hospital.

The sites required rigorous assessment followed by detailed planning in order to manage the logistical challenges when working on NHS sites and provide consistency, continuity and quality of testing. A Contract Manager was appointed for the duration of the contract and the same PAT team was also maintained throughout the contract, with a lead engineer on site providing a point of liaison for the client.

Work at these hospitals will continue and a review of this contract will allow continued improvement of our work at these sites.

etc"

And:



"Delivering safely at Manchester Airport

Premier Technical Services Group PLC (PTSG) has been awarded a new contract to deliver works for one of the UK’s biggest and busiest airports.

The Group will carry out investigative works on a cradle used for maintenance works on the skylink walkways between the terminals and rail station at Manchester Airport. The work will be undertaken on behalf of the airport’s FM provider, Mitie.

PTSG is carrying out a range of specialist testing services for Manchester Airport.

Funnily enough, most presentations major on the upside rather than the downside :o))

Counters to the points raised by Glaws2 AFAICS are:

- high numbers of customer and majority low value work is good - no major exposure to any one contract or customer and dissipation of risk, as noted re Carillion and Interserve
- a higher P/E is deserved as (1) high recurring revenue, (2) big cross-selling potential, (3) huge growth in fire and related services etc
- margins will improve as the group steadily moves up the scale in temrs of work undertaken (i.e fire services) and existing workforce is more and more well utilised
- high receivables, but no bad debts due to blue chip customer list
- lots of adjustments due primarily to amortisation/share options - agreed, you either live with this or not. I'm happy to live with it.

The downsides as I saw them when I went to a presentation last Dec were :

Majority of work is low value - £40m revenue – 17,000 customers; 90,000 invoices raised per year;
High PE for a contracting business;
Intrinsically lowish operating margins;
Receivables high;
Lots of adjustments (reductions) to profit figures.

Thank you for the info Rivaldo. Threeputt makes a good point though. I am invested here and I would appreciate any details you could provide regarding downside; either specifically mentioned at the presentation, or deduced by yourself. Many thanks.

A couple of months ago I went to a PTSG presentation, and promised to post my notes, which I then forgot about :o((

Anyway, I came across the notes again, so here's a summary:

- current turnover run-rate is £60m (up from 2017's £52.9m). The target is £100m in the next 2-3 years
- conditions for compliance services post-Grenfell are the best Teasdale has seen for 30 years. Compliance service jobs are not a choice, they're recession-proof, and they're high-margin work
- "unprecedented" demand at present - and it's coming from regulatory drivers (fire, sprinklers etc)
- no more than 5% of customers take more than 1 service at present, so there's a huge cross-selling opportunity
- each £1 of compliance work wins generates another £1 of additional repair/compliance work
- very dominant position in lightning protection. Lighting installation installations can make between £10k-£20k (more than I'd thought
- the price for the sprinkler systems acquisition was agreed in Feb'17, but only completed in Sept'17 (which explains why it was so cheap). This business has doubled its order book since acquisition
- renewals are 85%-90% of revenues every year
- no one client has over £1m exposure, and the small Carillion debt is the only bad dent PTSG have ever had. Interserve's debt is only £200k
- PTSG have just won a £1.7m contract from Hackney Council for sprinkler systems in 95 tower blocks
- there are several thousand 3 and 5 year contracts, so very high recurring income
- PTSG's Clarity software, entirely developed in-house, could well be licensed out (another Facilities Management company with 56,000 employees thought it was terrific)

In particular, the CEO stated that PTSG are working on around 12 potential acquisitions, costing from £1m-£35m.

I still believe this extract from the recent trading update will be our eventual catalyst for higher prices:
"In addition, the Board expects that the results for the year ended 31 December 2018 will be materially ahead of current market forecasts. This reflects the strength of the Group's order book and successful integration, and ongoing progress at its recently acquired businesses"

Yet another new governmental contract, at prisons across the country:



"Critical work in the UK’s prisons

Premier Technical Services Group (PTSG) is carrying out essential electrical services at prison sites across the UK for Gov Facility Services Limited (GFSL).

The contract will see engineers from PTSG’s Electrical Services division carrying out PAT testing and testing, maintenance and installation of fixed wire systems and residual current devices (RCD).

Her Majesty’s Prisons and Probation Service (HMPPS) runs 109 of the 123 prisons in England and Wales. In 2018, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) created new government-owned facilities management company GFSL to deliver FM work at 52 prisons across the UK. This work includes reactive maintenance and planned building repair work. FM is a critical service for HMPPS and there is an ongoing need for a continuing service.

Another great government contract win:



"Keeping the Department for Transport estate moving

Premier Technical Services Group PLC (PTSG) is delivering electrical servicing across the UK for the Department for Transport (DfT).

The contract sees engineers from PTSG’s Electrical Services division carrying out work at the broad range of DfT buildings and facilities, which comprises everything from lighthouses to driving test centres. PTSG’s experts are conducting fixed wire testing and Portable Appliance Testing (PAT) at the DfT’s buildings up and down the country.

Fixed Wire testing (also known as periodic testing) protects buildings and employees from the two main electrical risks – fire and electrical shock."

And also:


"Towering test in Manchester

Premier Technical Services Group PLC (PTSG)’s expertise will be called on by construction company BAM at Manchester’s world class statement building No 1 Spinningfields.

PTSG will provide engineers to work alongside team Allianz, the engineering insurance provider to test and certify the prestigious site’s building maintenance units (BMUs), which are used to assist in the maintenance of the towering structure.

In the aftermath of the Grenfell disaster, Dame Judith Hackitt, former Chair of the UK Health and Safety Executive, was tasked with conducting an independent review into the effectiveness of current building and fire safety regulations.

She is due to publish her report this spring. i.e. very shortly.

The report will almost certainly include a call for some changes in the law.

Perhaps requiring all high-rise and high-risk buildings be fitted with sprinklers and that only non-combustible cladding and insulation be installed.

The report will certainly include proposals which if enacted upon will be beneficial to PTSG's Fire Solutions division.

IMO the next PTSG acquisition will come in that area especially with the expected increase in workload resulting from the independent review notwithstanding the comment in the full year results that the Fire Solutions division was 'experiencing astonishing demand for our services.'


All in all,PTSG should certainly become more visible in the next few weeks.
