Article business sector of Sunday Times today page two about what appears to be a competitor going into administration.

Names two rivals ID Experiential and Places for People. Is the second SPaces for People?

I'm much better thanks but still backwards and forwards for treatment, won't go into detail but not serious thankfully. i'm communicating quite a bit off board now, another reason perhaps why it seems i've been inactive. Just too many intellectually challenged posters i'm afraid.

I gave this more thought overnight and whilst the business is no doubt doing well and the figures were excellent i can't see any barriers to entry. Effectively they're just a middleman/estate agent, and i can't find any info on how their contracts with shopping malls are structured i.e. length of contract period etc.

The business model is so simple and rolling it out internationally is clearly very possible, allowing for differing cultures etc. Indeed it's so simple anyone could do it and that's where i feel uncomfortable with it. Any competition will drive down costs and it effectively becomes... who's prepared to do it for the lowest cost/profit.

Having said that they're first to market and seem to have a commanding portfolio so i am watching with interest.

If you're interested i'll pop up an email address you can contact me on.

SPACEANDPEOPLE, the shopping mall marketing specialist with operations in the UK, Germany and India, has seen its share price surge after delivering a bumper 43% rise in pre-tax profits to £2.27 million last year.

Shares in the Glasgow-based firm rose 16% after contract wins with Land Securities, co-owner of Buchanan Galleries, and Braehead owner Intu helped it lift net revenue 22% to £13.06m in the year to December 31.

Gross revenue generated for shopping centre groups was up 12% to £30.11m – the first time the figure topped £30m.

Chief executive officer Matthew Bending said the results, which included a major contribution from its German arm, reflected a strategy that was "well executed by the management team".

Mr Bending said: "We've built up such a credible reputation now that we're winning more and more portfolios. In the UK that was shown by Land Sec and CSS [Capital Shopping Centres, now Intu] and in Germany a new portfolio called MEC [Metro]. All in all it added a lot of new portfolios to the pipeline.

"The investment in the German retail licensing doubled, and it will double again in 2013. Everything's looking pretty good at the moment.

"Shopping centres really value what we do and we're adding new services and adding value where we can."

The firm earns from retail licensing, as it sub-lets space on behalf of shopping centres to small or start-up retailers, and from promotional activity.

The latter is similar to media sales and involves the company selling space to major brands, which use it to launch new products over short periods of time.

Although the company derives more revenue on the promotional side, Mr Bending said the margins involved in retail licensing are higher.

The deals with Land and Intu helped UK promotions business revenue rise 34% to £3.27m, though business revenue fell 6% in the home market.

Mr Bending said: "It is always great to win new venues but each venue group comes with a different set of objectives and strategic view of their mall space, so you have got to bespoke it.

"It really positions us as a market leader and it is incumbent on us to meet industry expectations, as opposed to our own expectations of quality control as well as revenue.

"It is important, but it is all part of the big scheme for us. It allowed us to recruit another seven or eight people in the Glasgow office."

Net revenue at the company was driven by its performance in Germany, where revenue from retail licensing rose by 124% to £1.97m, and on promotions by 61% to £1.96m.

The year saw the business win a contract with MEC Metro, owner of 36 largely provincial shopping centres in Germany. The deal builds on its association with ECE, the owner of around 110 shopping destinations in Germany (140 in Europe) and the biggest contributor to the company's turnover.

Shares closed up 14.5p at 102.5p.

[battlebus2] 25/3/2013 20:20

Hi Woody sorry to hear about your health, i had noticed you weren't posting hope everything works out for you. Health before wealth every time. I totally agree with you reference trolls it's hard to hold a decent discussion and certainly does put investors from posting at all.

[battlebus2] 25/3/2013 19:31

Woody great to hear you maybe joining us, certainly looks a good long term bet.
S.L. has been thrashing every board with the pretence he's an alcoholic but he has yet to listen to Chrisis33 or myself but i can't fault him on this one :))

[woodcutter] 25/3/2013 19:09

Read the results this pm and pretty impressed, well done those who moved early today, will have a small punt maybe in the morning.

sl you are in danger of getting filtered probably by most posters. Do yourself a favour and post in a sensible manner, your're disrupting many if not all of the threads you visit. I'm sure you're a pretty intelligent chap so FFS!!! grow up and behave.

Woody

[battlebus2] 25/3/2013 17:59

[topvest] 25/3/2013 09:29

Interesting sunglass concept in India. Any thoughts?

[topvest] 25/3/2013 09:09

I've tripled my small position here. I agree it's a good GARP (Growth at A Reasonable Price) stock - with a P/E of 10 and a 30% growth rate that's pretty impressive!

I think there are a few triggers for a re-rating here - better track record gets it noticed on stock screens and tip sheets + the Gresham House over-hang should get cleared at some point. Personally, I think that Gresham will distribute the shares rather than sell unless they can sell for a lot more than a £1.

[fillipe] 25/3/2013 08:39

Not just very good results....really excellent, in this climate!
Well done Sal....I'm very happy holding you.
