Transfer all your shares if you want at Stilo's new registrar Nevilles

hxxps://www.stilo.com/2020/04/02/shareholder-register-and-share-transfers/

Desperate times, they are doing their best now with a new registrar and new CEO Superman Tipper......

New closed offices, less staff, smaller market, fewer customers.

Things must be looking really, really promising.

[stilolosses] 03/4/2020 14:11

Maybe I can help you there.

The revenues were more or less around the normal low levels and the blonde haired, blue eyed senior management tried and failed for 30 plus years, then woke up, and said, let's get yet another salesman.

Tipper failed to move sales on much but did a little bit and bingo management decided we now need to immediately appoint him as CEO and sack several staff and close the UK office after 30 years of failure.

Tipper, known as superman, will now do what all management and about 25 staff have not done in 30 years plus.

Tipper will achieve the impossible before they decide to blame the current unfortunate circumstances or the direction of the wind on customers leaving as usual.

I ask myself;how/why did 40 something Bryan Tipper;only 7 months into his role as Vice President, Sales & Marketing at STILO,so rapidly achieve the status and the responsibility of becoming our CEO.

Among accolades, Bryan Tipper's attributes are variously listed as:- technical sales expertise, conducts himself professionally with intensity, respect for others,a
good producer and a positive influence, mature beyond his years.focused and with a steady approach."

"High integrity and a good work ethic distinguish Bryan as one of the top people I have worked with during my life."

Nevertheless,I believe there has to be an as yet unknown ingredient here.
Could it be industry contacts...eyebrow raising progress during that 7 month tenure....or is it his vision for STILO'S future success alongside the ability to deliver.

THe answer will soon become more apparent.

Below is what they say about our former CEO Leslie Burnham


Remarkable that in a mere 4 years he took sales at RM from £11 million to £40 million.


At Stilo International after 30 years or so he has managed to take sales from £1 million to around a staggering and mind boggling £1.3 million.


Where they talk about Leslie leading Stilo's growth strategy is where I find myself picking myself off the floor and dusting myself down.



-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Following an initial spell in corporate planning at Mobil Oil, Les has spent his entire career in the IT industry, holding a variety of business development and executive management positions at ICL, Prime Computer and RM.

At RM, he was responsible for achieving rapid sales growth from £11 million to £40 million over a four-year period and subsequently founded his own company, pioneering ebooks and multimedia publishing in North America and Europe. Experienced in venture capital backed technology start-ups, he spearheaded Stilo’s IPO in 2000 and has since led the company’s acquisition and growth strategy in the XML content processing market. Les holds a B.Sc.Jnt Hns in Mathematics/Operational Research obtained from Leeds University and undertook an MBA programme at Cranfield School of Management.

Again, as has always been the case, our "resident professional market expert" has always been very open about me being disloyal,pedantic and retrospective.

He has always refused to answer anything remotely relevant about Stilo International other then turn and look the other when Stilo's staff have been sacked, offices closed, company delised, customers lost, shareholders shafted etc etc, etc.

Well, hopefully, superman Tipper now to the rescue where everybody else has failed.

[stilolosses] 02/4/2020 20:20

Exactly.

You got it in one.

[stilolosses] 02/4/2020 19:57

So, here goes, but I have a feeling you will not answer Mudbath,

What difference will Mr Tipper make with a smaller base in Ottawa only and with a dwindling workforce?

[stilolosses] 02/4/2020 19:55

Thanks for the advice Mudbath.

I suppose it is my fault they have decided to lock up shop in the UK, delist, lose customers, sack staff, lose revenues and profits and stop the little dividends that they were paying.

I suppose all this is irrelevant and insignificant and pedantic.

Personally, I think it just goes to show how I was right all along. Not gloating or saying I told you so but you cannot blame me for driving the thread away.

Maybe, just maybe, its a long, long shot, but just maybe it was Stilo's and its managements doing and not mine.

More than happy to continue the thread but I think you will not engage constructively.

In the meantime, now that they no longer have a UK office, maybe you can ask them to stop promoting on their website that they still have an office in the UK

That is A OK,StiloLosses,just as long as you yourself are convinced,for everyone is entitled to their opinion.

The irreducible drawback to your posts is that they are unswervingly repetetive in content in addition to being fact free.

You seem unable or unwilling to comment on anything topical,preferring,sadly,to nurse bitter memories of your persistent losses here.

New CEO
All operations transferred to N America.
Both VISA and Mastercard utilising Migrate and AuthorBridge.

We are interested in such transformative developments and seek to discuss them.

You gain your stimulation from being disloyal,pedantic and retrospective.

Hope you enjoy yourself on your own here for you seem to have driven all but the thread author far,far away.

PS
Get all your losses back(quickly)with TERN.

In the meantime can you also please private message me please Mudbath?

[stilolosses] 02/4/2020 19:21

In tems of hush, hush, wink, wink, "one professional market expert private messaging another professional market expert", hood, hood, wink, wink!......

Well what can I say here boys (men really).....

What do we expect after 30 years or so of trying......

All you are now left with is "private messaging", and for what?

Again, I will be more than happy to report in 2025 if Stilo and its products are still about that all those so called hhod, hood, wink, wink private messages resulted in more or less nothing!

Sorry Mudbath, I understand that you would like to see super human efforts and results at Stilo but with the tiny dwindling market, customers leaving for every new customer, minute revenues and profits, the closure of the UK office and the sacking of staff, you are not going to see much action going forward.

In the next year or two when they again realise that the sales are just about meeting costs there will be nothing else that they will be able to cut.

In closing, so humble for management to make those changes at the so called top.

Nice of them to swallow their pride and admit that they were wrong all the time and have now put their faith in somebody who has only been with them 2 minutes as a salesman to feel he can now be their leader.

You could not make it up.

Why didn't they just appoint their UK based cleaner Debbie at the top all those years ago. Debbie would have done better for them.

[stilolosses] 02/4/2020 19:11

In terms of CEO stewardship I am sure Mr Tipper can now achieve what absolutely nobody had been able to achieve at Stilo for the last 30 years in terms of sales and revenues.

Getting rid of the likes of Helen and other staff, not forgetting them locking up and throwing away the keys for the UK office, obviously shows that there is more or less nothing in this tiny, dwindling market in Europe and the only little bit of business in North America is all that they can go for. Of course, around 80% of their business always was over there.

Shame it has taken expert management in excess of 30 years to work out that the UK office was never needed and being listed on the London Stock Exchange decision also came around 30 years too late.

No doubt, management probably believe that Mr Tipper can now be their very own Superman with super human powers who is going to "rescue their world!".

Again, if Stilo is still going in 2025 I will be happy to report how he gets on.

In the meantime, the same old, same old, same old will happen: 1 new customer comes along and 2 leave through the back door.

No doubt, Stilo will continue to throw money at new products, spend money on them, then decide to discontinue them.

I am surprised that the Migrate product is still going to be honest even though it only raised around £200 to £300k year in year out after 15 years or so.

"Medical applications really going to go into orbit!"

Oh Mudbath! again what can I say.

This so called gentlemen s agreement with Transperfect in a market that is worth $20 billion?

Again, this is something that was jointly announced by Stilo way back in 2018.

Sorry, just like all the billions with the likes of IBM and all the other world leading companies that Stilo has provided a service to is in money terms going to amount to around £5000 annual sales for Stilo take a few thousand quid here or there.

If you again look at Stilo's annual reports for the last 30 years or so you will see all the conglomerates that they have announced agreements or contracts with be it £1000 or £10,000.

I will be more than happy to report to everybody what this so called agreement with the medical world eventually delivers around 2025 whether Stilo is still going by then or not.

[stilolosses] 02/4/2020 18:45

Mudbath if you go to your so called "Growing number of client testimonials on this page

hxxps://www.stilo.com/testimonials/

you, again, will clearly see that these customers Toa, Tridum, IBM, Innovatia, ST Microelectronics, Global Foundries, Microchip, Extreme Networks,

are customers who have at some stage used their services sometime in the last 20 years or so.

Sorry to say it, you only have to cross reference the last 30 years of annual reports to independently confirm this.

Nevertheless, we know for a fact that Stilo gets new customers every year who have not used their services. This is completely true.

The question you have to ask is: During the last 30 years or so, when new customers come on every year, and others leave each year, how has this continued to effect the bottom line and profits?

The answer is incredibly and simply simple the bottom line has and will continue to remain within the £1million to £1.5 million as it has for 30 years or so.

If I was Stilo I would update their testimonials page as it got so many old, out of date irrelevant reviews, as opposed to what you are again claiming Mudbath.

Medical applications really are going into orbit.

TransPerfect Announces EnCompass Rapid Prototyping Program for MDR & IVDR Content Compliance

(TransPerfect Medical Device Solutions Rapid Prototyping Program combines validated content management technology from Astoria Software, process automation technology from TransPerfect, critical conversion technology from Stilo and information development services from leading consultant Mekon.)

"TransPerfect MDS helps manufacturers meet the daunting volume increases and turnaround challenges for labeling and post-market surveillance with structured content, process automation, and AI as part of its EnCompass Solution. In addition, TransPerfect’s Rapid Prototyping Program enables device makers to build an evidence-based business case for management approval."

AI-Enabled Services Solve MDR and IVDR Challenges

"Industry-wide, the cost of implementing the EU’s new MDR and IVDR requirements is estimated at nearly $20 billion. A significant portion of that cost is due to new content requirements. Says TransPerfect MDS President Marc Miller, “Two critical areas affected by MDR and IVDR are labeling – including translations – and post-market surveillance. The new regulations will create a substantial, permanent increase in the volume and velocity of content in both of these areas. The only practical way to address this increase is through automation and AI.”

$ 20 BILLION....COST OF NEW CONTENT REQUIREMENTS !!

And customers!

Only the partially sighted could not observe that the difference is in the Americanisation of Stilo International.

Goodbye to Windmill Hill Business Park.
