The right acquisition soon would be a wonderful thing. Don't you think?

[sll] 11/11/2005 17:32

...and any appropriate corporate action, that was previously (to be frank) not realistically an option until this matter had been concrete-lidded, steve

[hosede] 11/11/2005 17:05

Definitely good news - a major potential hurdle out of the way, leaving the company to concentrate on its normal business

[blueblood] 11/11/2005 16:21

Lets try again then!!! Hope we might get a mention in press as any good buying should shift this now.

[gjabrj] 11/11/2005 15:55

Dropped i suspect as nothing wrong with the transaction.

[canford cliffs] 11/11/2005 15:52

[bsg] 11/11/2005 14:19

[blueblood] 11/11/2005 14:18

As I predicted on this board a while ago, the House of Lords has refused Aviss permission to appeal and the judicial process is now closed.

Bit of buying going on. When are results?

[sll] 30/10/2005 10:19

shawzie - getting the land is the first and all-important step in the process. that's why I welcome this latest news which adds considerably to ART's potential sales from Rippon over the coming periods. steve

[shawzie] 28/10/2005 21:52

Surely what is now required is an increase in units built per annum, which should lead to economies of scale with sustainable profits. it is all very well to invest in more land but it needs to be turned over in as short a time scale as possible, then we might see some growth in Artisan.

[sll] 28/10/2005 18:10

hosede - you make a fair point, and I am prepared to wait - but I don't think it will take quite that amount of time. I do also welcome this latest announcement re Rippon's capacity and indeed the recent trading update - which I took to be broadly as good as it could be under the prevailing market circs this summer. steve

[hosede] 27/10/2005 12:03

I think part of the problem is that the city has a long memory, or "the evil that men do lives after them". The association with SD will take a long time to shake off - two or three years of improving results and a return to the dividend list. This is one I'm prepared to be patient with - others may just want to get shot of it!

Steve

Many thanks for the helpful post.

well they've bought more land for Rippon..............could make them even more attractive for a bid?

[gjabrj] 25/10/2005 10:38

Sell the business and return the funds to shareholders.

An option anyway.

[canford cliffs] 21/10/2005 15:22
