Couldn't have summarised it better myself Paulipiot. In my top ten progressive dividend shares.

[paulypilot] 29/11/2013 14:00

Hi,

This one is just a nice solid niche company, growing, with excellent, entrepreneurial management, paying a good (growing) dividend, and still at a reasonable valuation. They should make close to 10p basic EPS this year, so PER something like 12-13. There's no debt. It's a smashing share, in my view.

I'm not expecting this one to go through the roof, as some small caps are doing at the moment, but as a long-term hold SAL is very appealing in my view.

Cheers, Paul.

Strong share I still fully expect this to retest the years previous highs before December finishes.

[battlebus2] 29/11/2013 10:04

Buying at 130 again.

[topvest] 13/11/2013 20:42

Probably because they need some cash - most are people that have taken shares in a previous acquisition. As I have said before - look at the Chief Executive - he is the main mover and shaker - he hasn't sold. Contract wins good news. This company looks very well positioned.

[melody9999] 13/11/2013 07:59

why are directors selling?

[battlebus2] 11/11/2013 08:08

Rns out this morning on the new contract wins.

[battlebus2] 09/11/2013 20:58

Yes thanks October, the tie up with Land securities pays off once more and as Topvest says train stations could provide further growth. Awaiting the next update to show how undervalued these are.

[topvest] 09/11/2013 20:52

Yes, very interesting. Seems to indicate some potential for growth at other train stations and airports! All going well. I've recently bought a few Gresham House as well who still own a chunk of these.

SpaceandPeople wins St Pancras contract

SpaceandPeople has secured an exclusive agreement to manage promotional and brand experience activity in St Pancras International station.

St Pancras International undertook an £800 million project in 2001 to restore the Victorian architecture of the original building completed by William Barlow in 1868. The station is now seen as a truly iconic and world class destination station, combining high end retail with award winning eateries. The station also acts as a gateway to Europe connecting London to international destinations including Paris and Brussels.

The station has 1 million visitors per week with 23% of them having no intention to travel, but simply to meet, eat, drink and shop in the 50 retailers at the station including LK Bennett, Thomas Pink and Hamleys. The unique leisure and retail mix St Pancras International offers makes it the ideal location for experiential and promotional activity, with 85% of visitors in the ABC1 demographic group and an average dwell time of 27 minutes, considerably more than other UK rail stations.

Matthew Bending, chief executive officer at SpaceandPeople, commented on the new agreement: 'St Pancras International offers a stunning backdrop for any brand experience, PR stunt or engagement. Its retail mix, visitor profile and status make it one of the UK's best platforms for experiential activity. We are thrilled to have this major iconic destination as part of our portfolio.'

Wendy Spinks, commercial director of St Pancras International says of the new contract "St Pancras International is the ideal destination for a wide range of activities including product launches, music, dance, art and food events. We are looking forward to working with SpaceandPeople and the potential it can bring with great brands looking to interact with visitors through experiential activity."

Educated Urbanites in sight as SpaceandPeople ties up One New Change deal

SpaceandPeople has signed an exclusive contract to oversee brand experience and promotional activity at One New Change, London.

One New Change, owned by Land Securities, is located in the heart of London. The contemporary building has a total of eight floors including a public roof terrace with views over the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral. The complex comprises of offices, retailers and eateries and features a panoramic lift giving direct access to new and exciting views of the city.

One New Change has five promotional sites and boasts 60 stores, with a mix of high end, speciality and high street retailers, alongside an impressive range of eateries including Jamie Oliver's Barbecoa and Bread Street Kitchen, a lively restaurant and bar from the team at Gordon Ramsay. Having been designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect, Jean Nouvel, One New Change is one of the largest shopping centres in central London, which is reflected by its impressive annual footfall of 13 million.

The predominant ACORN Group of visitors to One New Change are Educated Urbanites who work in close proximity to the venue, with many coming to the centre multiple times in a week.

Charlotte Fletcher, general manager at One New Change said of the agreement: "We are delighted to be working in partnership with SpaceandPeople and are looking forward to working with them to bring some amazing brands to this unique, high profile venue."

SpaceandPeople's sales director, Nick Hill, commented, "One New Change is a unique location and with large open spaces that flow together seamlessly, the centre offers fantastic space and opportunity for brands to engage with visitors."

"The centre is popular with the affluent, high end, city centre worker, so experiential campaigns and promotions would have direct access to this high net worth individual - no other large shopping centre in the heart of the city of London offers this."

It's the MD that matters here. He is not selling!

[battlebus2] 01/11/2013 15:19

Thanks BrianGeeee, pity it couldn't be taken up in one fell sweep but the share price is holding well given all the selling.

[briangeeee] 01/11/2013 14:14

bb2, I'm fairly comfortable with it.

In 2010, SAL acquired Retail Profile, but as they didn't raise the full purchase consideration, part was paid in stock. Earlier this year a large proportion of that stock was placed at 86p. Some of the ex-RP holders decided they'd hold out for a higher price, and I think what we're seeing now is those that wanted some more, gradually selling.

There's probably a little more to come out over the next year or so, but I suspect it will be at higher and higher prices.

[battlebus2] 01/11/2013 13:49

More director selling announced today. Starting to niggle a little now.

[battlebus2] 16/10/2013 16:59

And the other piece of the puzzle!

SpaceandPeople (AIM:SAL) the retail, promotional and brand experience specialist, has today been notified that on 15 October 2013 Julia Langkraehr sold 500,000 ordinary shares of 1p each in the Company following which, she no longer holds a notifiable interest in the Company..

[battlebus2] 16/10/2013 16:37

Nancy Cullen sold 100k of shares so maybe part of the drop.

[bigdazzler] 16/10/2013 13:20

... And yesterday was key for large volume and little change in price in what seemed like buyers were absorbing the seller.

[bigdazzler] 16/10/2013 13:07

Bought today as well as share price seems to have found support at previous resistance point. Hope to see it retest it previous highs in the next few months and beyond. Not the easiest share to buy when a rush on.

[zoolook] 16/10/2013 11:25

From Paul Scott's blog:

I don't know why shares in Spaceandpeople (LON:SAL) have dropped so sharply recently as there's not been any news from the company. Although there was a slight issue with ambiguous wording in the last results statement, which might have rattled one or two investors possibly? Anyway, I've treated it as a buying opportunity and have topped up this week. The company should deliver around 10p EPS this year, and pays a good dividend, so at 109p they look good value to me. It's not the sort of share that is likely to shoot the lights out, but should continue being a decent growth company, in a niche pretty much of its own. There's been plenty of volume in recent days, almost all retail buys, so looks like there's a seller offloading in the background. Once they are finished, then hopefully it should go back up again. As always, this is just my personal opinion, and please DYOR. -

[battlebus2] 16/10/2013 09:49

Seems to be on the move upwards again so perhaps the overhang has gone, lets hope so anyway.

[madmix] 15/10/2013 11:31

I've also bought in for the first time this morning, having waited some time for a decent opportunity!

[strollingmolby] 15/10/2013 09:28

Indeed, topvest - have just more than doubled up! Fantastic growth story with approx 10p EPS this year - it's too cheap at 108p.

[topvest] 14/10/2013 21:25

Good buying opportunity again for someone. I've got enough.
