Loverly New Contract Wins

SpaceandPeople Plc (AIM: SAL) is pleased to announce contract wins in Germany and the UK. Its German subsidiary, SpaceandPeople GmbH, has been awarded a 5 year exclusive commercialisation contract with Corio GmbH ("Corio") in Germany.

Corio operates 5 shopping centres in important cities such as Berlin and Duisburg which complements SpaceandPeople's current national profile of locations across Germany, both geographically and demographically.

The agreement is the first time all SpaceandPeople offerings have been incorporated under one all-encompassing contract including promotional space and mobile kiosk management and fixed kiosk sales, providing a much higher blended commission rate than historical deals.

Matthew Bending, Group CEO of SpaceandPeople said "It has been a good year for the German team with the signing of MEC earlier in the year and now Corio. This provides a wider portfolio for brands and means we have increased revenue diversity, which strategically is beneficial. The blended and amalgamated contract is a first for us and we hope to use it as a template in future contract negotiations."

SpaceandPeople has also been awarded an exclusive 5 year agreement with The Garden Centre Group Holdings Ltd in the UK. The agreement, which extends across its 142 centre portfolio, covers brands such as Wyvale, Blooms and Country Gardens and constitutes the biggest portfolio of garden centres in the UK.

Matthew Bending continues "Increasingly brands want to access the buying power of an older demographic with high disposable income and ample leisure time. The visitor profile of these centres will enable this and its significance is important in keeping experiential media in venues as a key channel for brands. This demographic profile is difficult to access using traditional media as these consumers tend to be less media savvy and are resistant to modern media messages. This contract will provide an ideal platform for brands and their key consumers to meet."

My understanding is that "Close period" is two months before any results announcement and any period when Directors are privy to "inside information" i.e. news which may impact on share price such as negotiating a deal

[eggbaconandbubble] 04/12/2013 21:48

Or in the rubber seal at the front of the washing machine!!!
Incidently, am I right in saying that because a director or 'director' in this case, traded shares that no unexpected announement can be made for certain period?
If so how long?

Took her a while to get round to telling him though!

[25october1969] 04/12/2013 21:22

which means Mrs Bending was doing the laundry and bought some shares with the loose change she found in Mr Bending's trouser pockets!

[eggbaconandbubble] 04/12/2013 21:11

Which means no update soon?

[topvest] 04/12/2013 20:45

CEO buying a few.

[tom111] 04/12/2013 17:39

must be an update soon

[battlebus2] 29/11/2013 14:25

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.

[bigdazzler] 29/11/2013 12:59

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."

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.

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."
