I'd say that, good or bad, there is just no appetite for small company shares in the present climate from institutional investors. If history repeats, I suspect we will only see meaningful movements when the economic cycle is on a continued upwards growth path. I've held for a few years and can't see much interest in The Works (or other similar sized companies) until we see a maturing growth phase in the UK economy. Apart from major news, I'll just watch and wait.

Have heard of Mike Burn, reputation, smart and large investor. I think his interest in works is a good sign.

WRKS and CARD have similarities but at the same time are very different. Simular-sized shops in similar locations on similar rent.
Dean Hoyle was the founder of CARD and a large investor in WRKS but has no stake in either now.
CARD is a budget card shop designing and manufacturing its own products at high margins. Now adding gifts to its range to boost basket size.
WRKS is a shop you go into when you have children to buy a limited range of books, craft items, educational and stationery items.
Comparing the market cap of both is just wrong IMO.

kaos3. Have you ever lived in the UK. Do Slovenians buy each other cards for birthdays etc.
Living in the UK, birthday cards are a normal thing. My kids would get about 20 each birthday. I grew up thinking this was the same all over the world, so it was a surprise to find out that this was not the case. Apparently, in France, a card is only normally sent if you can not attend an event or celebration.

I worked for a company listed on AIM.I did not see any negatives at all, it might be a factor with investors, but the only time we did some corporate activity everything went fine.

I don't see Theo Paphitis buying this and am sure that £25m would not fly. I also doubt a £40m bid would succeed. Almost half the shares are held by a handful of investors.

Unfortunately other investors are not so positive about the results.
The Works are getting too small to be on the LSE anymore. Maybe they should go on AIM?

It's not a good look for KPMG. I am reading between the lines that the company are not very happy with the delay but they are still reiterating that the guidance will still stand when the results are (finally) announced. Doesn't look great when 2 delays are announced one after the other - it can make investors nervous when there is probably no need to be. Wouldn't be surprised to see a change of auditor eventually.
