Sorry

Yes agree about East. Bought a few before the close, wanting to be on board just in case

[minerve] 23/3/2016 14:44

I think we have crossed lines. I am talking about Mr East.

[finess] 23/3/2016 14:21

As soon a Cameron pulls out the support props he will be gone. too much of a light weight. That chap Gauke put up a good show when Osborne decided to "No Show"

[minerve] 23/3/2016 13:57

FINESS

At the moment he is doing fine as far as I am concerned.

[finess] 23/3/2016 13:39

Scobak

Yes, just another way of putting it so as not to sound pretentious or elitist, although with "Osborne" allegedly being educated their that may be a thing of the past.

[finess] 23/3/2016 13:33

This breath of fresh air needs to change direction.

[scobak] 22/3/2016 20:35

I always thought Slough Grammar school was a.k.a. Eton.

[minerve] 21/3/2016 11:38

Great news and no engineering jobs going which is refreshing. Mr East is proving to be a breath of fresh air.

[standish11] 21/3/2016 11:33

350 new jobs next year for Derby.

I hear what you are saying Minerve, however, when the company was being run in what some would say was a very poor manner the share price was over £10.

We now have a leader who has seen where the problems are/were and started to address them.

I would be surprised if this isn't back at the £10 level or even higher within twelve months.

Recent news and budget activity around Small Modular Reactors looks interesting and exciting. If we have the technology, let us seriously consider it. If Rolls-Royce can make headway here this company is looking extremely well positioned for a good long-term investment. I would like to build-up my holding but I feel the share price has got slightly ahead of itself, nothing really to substantiate this belief, just a gut feeling.

The Ripper will be out before this gets to £10.00 :-)

[wiltshireram] 18/3/2016 10:19

A big re-rating underway here. I'm looking for >£10 before year end

Nice order from Italian navy, more significant than the value of the contract would suggest

Ianood
Your are correct, Grammar School with another name.

[ianood] 17/3/2016 17:48

FINESS - I always thought it was Slough Grammar,but now I suppose it will have to be an Academy! ;))

[finess] 17/3/2016 17:00

As they say at Slough High School, "Summat Going on Ear" got back in at a touch under £7.00.

[minerve] 10/3/2016 16:04

Got to sack some managers to make way for the new director's remuneration package. ;)

[careful] 10/3/2016 15:40

any fool can make cuts.
it is developing a company that takes skill.

"Rolls-Royce sheds another 150 managers"

"Rolls-Royce has shed a further 150 management jobs as chief executive Warren East winnows out bureaucracy at the UK jet engine maker following a string of profit warnings."

R R at Derby have first class engineers many who came through the G I T program if that's still running. The nature of the business is such that engineers invariably get promoted, all I was saying really was management not only need to know HOW but WHY. It would appear that the middle management is being culled and a shortage on the design side

Anyway onward and upward lets see what China does to-day.

"Rolls-Royce slashes executive perks as it aims for turnaround"

"An age of austerity has hit executive perks at Rolls-Royce, reflecting the engineering group’s rash of profit warnings and its struggle to return to profitable growth."

"It is understood that Mr East drives himself to work every day and the chauffeur is no longer employed by the company."

Perhaps this is part of the reason for today's rise ?

"Rolls Royce to play role in Trident upgrade"

"The Defence Secretary will tell MPs he is pressing ahead with work to replace the four ageing Vanguard-class submarines, with an announcement of investment on "long lead" items for the first of the new boats and funding for facilities at the shipyard in Barrow and the propulsion system at Rolls-Royce in Derby."
