Derby - Rolls Royce?

Impressive stuff - Chell Instruments have completed a "totally unique" "million pound test module" for a "for a leading international aircraft engine manufacturer":



"Chell Instruments Create Ground-breaking Mobile Jet Engine Testing Facility

World-renowned gas measurement and control experts, Chell Instruments, have completed construction of a unique mobile jet engine test facility.

Chell have developed the testing facility for a leading international aircraft engine manufacturer who require a mobile solution to test engines undergoing development at various locations around the globe.

The unit began life as a custom built 20ft heavy-duty shipping container which has been modified and converted into an expandable, portable testing unit by Chell’s engineers. The million-pound test module will be based in Derby when not deployed at sites around the world.

Jamie Shanahan, Sales Director at Chell Instruments, says “Emissions testing of Jet engines requires a significant amount of complex and specialist equipment. When a leading aircraft engine manufacturer asked us to create a mobile solution with no compromises to the testing capability, we jumped at it. Our portable unit will cut costs by making it convenient to transport the impressive capability anywhere in the world as standard freight.”

Totally unique, the test module has been specifically developed for ease of movement. By utilising a standard shipping container, it can be transported by land, sea or air. It is also expandable for internal space and comfort and is deployable on most surfaces due to its hydraulically auto-levelling design.

One last year on 23 April so it's a possibility

[arregius] 24/4/2021 18:00

Anyone xpecting a Tu?

[trident5] 22/4/2021 19:17

Well, clearly not that busy.

[ymaheru] 22/4/2021 18:46

Nah. I’m getting confused. Bust day at work. Lol!!

[fillspectre] 22/4/2021 18:08

Are you on the right board ymaheru? Fils

[ymaheru] 22/4/2021 13:56

By which I mean that LUCE seems worth far in excess of 300p, so I’m not worried about paying that much.

Short term Dip’s don’t bother me, and actually helped as I was able to buy at what I think is still a good price.

[gdjs100] 22/4/2021 13:31

It's a vision from the future!

[ymaheru] 22/4/2021 13:05

I just bought more at 300p this week, and am happy for that price.

[fillspectre] 22/4/2021 12:41

Riv. I haven't moved a muscle. My holding is probably secure for a long time just like my holding in SCE. I was musing on the price movement that was all. If anything I would consider accumulating more given the current indicated numbers and quality of management. I am very keen to see what the next acquisition might be. Another quality family owned UK scientific / engineering based business with plenty of growth potential no doubt. Fils

[rivaldo] 22/4/2021 09:32

C'mon Fils, prices go up and down. Just look at the long-term chart if you need reassurance.

[fillspectre] 21/4/2021 16:47

Thanks for that Riv. Looks like Monmouth was a very good buy. Could its star eclipse that of Atix? Do you think the share price is drifting downwards ahead of result because some think they can't live up to the recent uptick in the share price? Fils

[rivaldo] 20/4/2021 10:09

Cheers - the update could perhaps be on Monday morning. Not long to wait anyway.

Fillspectre/Glaws2, servicing does appear to be a major part of Monmouth Scientific's offering, but obviously figures are impossible to come by:



"Service solutions to cater for our client's specific needs

SDI issued a trading update on 23 Apr last year so I expect we may be updated this week.

If they can deliver on the numbers they indicated 10Feb21, we may attract a little attention;

"The Board currently expects that Revenue and Adjusted* Profit Before Tax in 2021 and 2022 will exceed:

£000's /Revenue /Adjusted Profit Before Tax

300420 (Audited) /24,498 /4348

300421 /34,000 /6700

300422 //42000 //8700

[fillspectre] 19/4/2021 12:06

Don't know Glaws2 - but given they've shipped 500 biological cabinets since April 2020 - if they do provide ongoing servicing as part of their offering - there is going to be plenty of recurring revenue. Fils

[glaws2] 16/4/2021 13:24

Regarding Monmouth, does anyone know what proportion of their revenue comes from serviving and supporting their installations ?

[trident5] 16/4/2021 13:18

Contain your excitement.

[rivaldo] 16/4/2021 12:31

Indeed...and using their annual ISA contributions to protect those gains from tax shows a higher level of confidence and certainty.

[trident5] 16/4/2021 12:09

Generally speaking people buying/holding shares do so with an expectation of further gains.

[backwoodsman] 16/4/2021 11:31

A big vote of confidence to bed and ISA his shares, especially this early in the tax year. Now used up his CGT annual exemption and no-one wants losses in their ISA so clearly his expectation is for further gains.

[rivaldo] 16/4/2021 10:50

Any director taking the time to protect future gains on his shares by transferring them into his ISA seems to me to be meaningful.

Perhaps some have forgotten - last December an SDI non-exec transferred 17k shares at 107p into his ISA. That has paid off rather nicely.....

News of another new installation from Monmouth Scientific - this is a particularly interesting one as it "was installed for the Travel Jabs Clinic in Croydon, experts in travel vaccinations, immunisations and health protection":



I assume Monmouth's microbiological safety cabinets are rather a good sector to be in at present:



"Since April 2020 our we've installed and shipped over 500 Class 1 and Class 2 Biological Safety Cabinets all around the world, many in Hospitals such as Newcross, Llandough and Morris Ton, helping NHS staff to tackle COVID-19"

[trident5] 15/4/2021 17:40

It's neither here nor there.
