A real problem to date has been the low volume. The better news flow and share consolidation can only help. I really do hope we see some organic growth in the business this year.

going back a few years the directors brought quite a few shares i havent seen them sell yet i think they will take advantage of them now, just look at the amount of trades to day were they buys or sells

steady on there vern,dividends could be a way off yet....its anybodies guess, but I do think the reason for the consolidation was to enable a situation where that could more easily happen.Fingers crossed.

look nice and steady i top up with a few the other day, divedends should be good, im going to make this my major share in my portfolio.

I thought the news was positive relative to anything I have heard before. Happy to see how this new situation unfolds.

You never know, it might ,they've become so good at cost control that the 2% increase in turnover may be going straight to the bottom line. It'll be interesting to see what they do with the profit on disposal.I keep getting a whiff of "special dividend" but this is probably wishful thinking.They will eventually get noticed I'm confident about that.

Anyone any thoughts on to-day's announcement?

The FDG website now lists HJB sites worldwide whereas the old HAR website only listed the London sites.Not sure if FDG receive an annual franchise income from them all but it looks impressive.

thanks spekky

it was 109 to 1,my new certificate arrived this morning.Looking forward to next set of figures, can't see any action on the share price untill then.

[kingsbridge] 05/4/2006 18:09

can anybody tell me what the consolidation ratio was...
I been away so I'm just catching up.
Thanks

[spekky] 05/4/2006 09:58

I think the spread will put people off for a while but this should change as the newsflow increases and the turnaround becomes more obvious, a trading update before the interims might help.As a long term holder (sufferer) I'll be looking to add a few more when the picture becomes clearer.

still hear

[tedg41] 04/4/2006 11:36

Halifax are not trading these yet! Was going to add a few.
Lets hope we are into a good, solid growth company.

A quiet opening under the new name. Let's see how the new share price behaves.

[spekky] 31/3/2006 09:35

not sure how it opened at £1.75.This is higher than I anticipated (£1.60 ) still I guess I'll be getting slightly fewer shares when they eventually arrive.My guess is a maiden divi to be announced within a year.

[spekky] 31/3/2006 09:13

still cant find it, just want to add it to my monitor,come on ADVFN

[spekky] 31/3/2006 09:09

Another thanks GC. With you all the way regarding the recovery, I think the way its run now is up several divisions from its sunday league status of say 5 years ago.Bags of potential in HJBs and all other outlets running profitably.
Keep up the good work Kowsun and Thomas.

John

Let's hope it is a new dawn. I lost a bucket load from 4p and then bought another bucket load at the bottom so still not broken even but sense a recovery play here.

Thanks GC

Cheers

I suppose we better start a new thread for Hartford. Let's hope it's the start of something big and a bright future for us all.
