Try removing the offensive term in the link, which is usually a company that's the opposite of reactive?

[nlmbidc] 21/12/2020 08:58

I have indeed. My communication is much improved as you can see.

[soulsauce] 21/12/2020 08:54

Lol Spangle. It looks like nlmbidc has been taking communication lessons from the company ;-)

[spangle93] 21/12/2020 08:09

That's certainly light ;-)

[nlmbidc] 21/12/2020 08:05

Some light reading.

No, not a member of the Twitter group.If you go back and read my posts, I have always had reservations about the brokers and the PR outfits on the payroll. Nothing personal but feel they could do better.

[nlmbidc] 19/12/2020 14:56

What you talking about yogaboy. Nobody cares.

[yogaboy] 19/12/2020 12:22

tyler90, he organised and managed the secret Twittergroup-only video conference. He must have known that was dubious practice at best.He has obtained and posted the Chairman's comments on the Twittergroup's AGM Q&A, participating in enabling the Board to ignore Q&A from others. AGM Q&A should be entirely for public consumption. Transparency is vitally important, more now than ever.Corporate PR should be so much better than this, and there he is blowing his own trumpet to the Twittergroup. Are you a member? Do you believe the company is being well served by this conduct?

[nlmbidc] 18/12/2020 17:28

You are spot on.

[tyler90] 18/12/2020 17:16

I suppose if he is being paid by the company then his job is to come up with ways to improve the comms side of the business and from your post it seems that is what he is trying to do, am I missing something?

[yogaboy] 18/12/2020 15:24

You would think when he posts this, for example, to the UPL Twitter group that he actually believes he is in charge. Are you reading this UPL? Have you any idea what your hired hand is saying on your behalf?

"I might be quiet on Twitter etc but I have put a lot of effort and am putting further effort in in the background, trying to introduce new concepts and ideas which may fit well with the company’s existing USP (being Tunisia and Sarawak). My apologies but I can’t be drawn into any detail at this stage as too many things beyond my control."

The role that Sasha seems to play in the company is concerning in itself and very odd.
If the company want to project that they are an incompetent bunch of idiots they have nailed it with Sasha being the face of Upl.
I will certainly add it to my email.

[yogaboy] 18/12/2020 12:14

I am not in the Twitter group either but I know a few who are, and it sounds as though Sasha is using the Twitter group to reply to AGM questions. As these questions were invited by the Board of Directors via RNS, I consider this behaviour inappropriate.If you agree, please bring this to the Chairman's attention. Repeatedly. Also bring it to the attention of the other two UK-resident directors. Repeatedly.

[soulsauce] 18/12/2020 11:48

Not in the Twitter group, too many morons frequent those groups so have not seen any of the messages. But as I have no confidence in the Chair I can't see them being of anymore substance than anything else he has said and to be taken with a very large pinch of salt and rolling of eyes.
I will look to fire an email off over the weekend.

[yogaboy] 18/12/2020 11:37

No offence taken soulsauce :)How miffed are you? Miffed enough to email the Chairman and copy the entire Board? Just out of interest, are you in the Twitter group? Have you seen the messages conveyed from the Chair to the group via Sasha?

[soulsauce] 18/12/2020 10:45

Apologies yogaboy I wasn't saying your hard work to get answers doesn't matter. I was just saying how I feel from my perspective and that is pretty miffed if I am honest.

[soulsauce] 18/12/2020 10:30

Even the bulls on lse seem to have given up.

[soulsauce] 18/12/2020 10:05

It really doesn't matter anymore yogaboy. We will all be very lucky if we ever see a return on our money.
The company has sunk to new lows, if that were at all possible.
There is so much wrong here it is unbelievable, but the main one being having a buffoon in charge.

I remember when Pitman was given the heave ho in to the long grass I put a picture up here of Ronald McDonald being the next CEO, little did I know we may have been better served by the red headed clown.

[yogaboy] 18/12/2020 09:42

Well I believe Sasha has been given the task of delivering the responses to the Twitter group, but apparently other shareholders can just be ignored.

[nlmbidc] 11/12/2020 17:33

You'll have to wait for the AGM Yogaboy.

Oops, it's a year away!

[yogaboy] 11/12/2020 16:38

Another day of silence after the AGM. I am struggling to decide whether this a collective act of indifference or ineptitude by the Board, or just plain cowardice. Using the the pandemic as a reason to ask shareholders to stay away from the meeting is understandable, but the quid pro quo is absolute accommodation of questions submitted by email as if the questioner were in the same room.It is very tempting to sell and walk away, but that is not my style. I will keep pestering. Please feel free to join me in demanding comprehensive answers from the Chairman about the company's assets, strategy, finances, prospects... the list is endless.
