Sikh

All goes towards interstates service, listening to Bob they want to offer NHS the whole package and be the supplier of choice. Can see this building into a very large company over time.

All buys today, could be right about a seller but mm's seem reluctant to let it go below 33p

[sikhthetech] 23/11/2017 15:38

graham,

good find... if it's one TLY think is a good fit then maybe they could buy using current cash funds.. :-)

agree, regarding the union, they wouldn't be happy.... ;-)

Recent check with a broker suggests very well offered but negliable on the buy sidel Message received (which may be wrong) is that possibly all the "sells" marked today maybe buys and that there is a big sell being worked. If so any guesses as to clearing price.

Paul

What directors are you referring to?

[grahamwales] 23/11/2017 15:27

Out of the two owners only one remains in the day to day business. So possibly looking for a nice lump sum in which to enjoy retirement.

So what valuation would we put on these I assume when Bob suggests 7 times income he refers to operating profit?.

[vatpaul] 23/11/2017 15:23

Directors don’t think it’s worth buying
No reason for me to either

[grahamwales] 23/11/2017 14:55

13 minutes in Bob talks of 2 companies they are looking at the first as we now know was Vocare. The second is a transport company. :-)

[grahamwales] 23/11/2017 14:17

Yep and two owners who started the business 19 years ago.

Perfect scenario for Bob.

[sikhthetech] 23/11/2017 14:08

micro,
beat me to it.. ;-)

and turnover doubled from fy2015 and Profit after tax, trebled...

Interesting one...

I know a friend who owns a Private Ambulance Service... I'll ask him to see if he knows of the company...

[microscope] 23/11/2017 14:04

Interesting, just had a look. Turnover for 2016 around 14 million, profit after tax 439k. Would be a nice one

[grahamwales] 23/11/2017 13:46

Will compliment Totally growing business as well as adding to their aim of integrated service.

[grahamwales] 23/11/2017 13:36

Think it's definitely these. Winning lots of contracts, not making money and couple of director/owners

Stock Watch: Totally plc

"Shares in Totally nudged up after the out-of-hospital care provider won a two-year extension on a key contract.
It comes through its subsidiary Vocare, which it acquired for £11million last month. The deal will see it provide out-of-hours services for NHS Vale of York and is expected to bring in around £3million a year.
Vocare is behind a string of NHS call centres and runs six of them for the non-emergency number, 111.
Shares were up 1.5 per cent, or 0.5p, to 33.75p.

More ambulance staff hit out at South Western Ambulance Service after calls for boss to resign
Now Unison says it is battling rota changes


Chris Nelson, Unison branch secretary, South Western Ambulance and Allied Health, said the claims reflected ‘unacceptable’ demands being placed on ambulance staff nationally.

Mr Nelson said: “I have read the article from GMB regarding the working conditions of their members in South Western Ambulance Service and of course recognise the issues raised as being strikingly similar to those our members have raised with us.

“As the only recognised trade union with South Western Ambulance Service we look after the interests of 65 per cent of its workforce and have continually fought for better working conditions for the staff, our members.

“The demand being faced by the ambulance service nationally is unacceptable and puts incredible strain on those that work within it as well as their families and friends and isn’t a position that is tolerable. Whilst we recognise the GMB’s stance, we believe the issues being faced are broader than described and are systemic across the NHS, primarily due to a chronic under funding by the government of essential services such as emergency care.

"There is often a common rhetoric that comes from the government that there is ‘no new money’ yet private firms such as VOCARE are being propped up with significant cash investment. This is the same organisation that contributes to the demand our members see in inadequate triage."

graham,

true...

[grahamwales] 22/11/2017 10:24

I'm guessing this contract extension wasn't accounted for in the recent broker summary.

[sikhthetech] 22/11/2017 10:24

Micro,

yes, budget day...

[grahamwales] 22/11/2017 10:21
