I bought in substantially at about £1 when strangely the shares did not initially move above the new issue price.My discussions with the FD indicate 3 excellent years to come without the assistance of acquisitions some of which are now under discussion.I would certainly expect these shares to go thru' £2 well within 3 years.Quite why the founding chairman resigned so soon after the flotation I do not know.Anybody any ideas?

Anybody out there still?
Certainly more buyers than sellers and sizeable ones on occasions.
Next event is the year end figs on a round the 30th April if no operational news in the meantime. Looking to beat and improve on previous years. Onwards and upwards hopefully.

Piling on the word puns!

Everything augurs well for the future

As he is non-exec, it is hardly going to affect day to day business.

Geotechnical contractor Van Elle Holdings PLC on Friday said Non-Executive Chairman Michael Ellis will retire at the end of 2016?

[rjd123] 23/12/2016 10:31

Any real reason for the sales today?

Van Elle Holdings plc

("Van Elle" or "the Group")

Trading update for the six months ended 31 October 2016

Van Elle, the geotechnical contractor offering a wide range of ground engineering techniques and services to customers in a variety of UK construction end markets, is issuing the following trading update ahead of announcing interim results for the six months ended 31 October 2016 on 19 January 2017.

The Board is pleased to report that trading in the period was in line with its expectations, with high levels of enquiries and an order book as at 1 November 2016 ahead of the start of the period. This positions the Group well as it enters the second half, which is traditionally the busier period and includes work in the Specialist Piling division scheduled over the Christmas holidays and a number of anticipated contract awards and starts in the new calendar year.

The Board remains confident in its expectations for the current financial year and continues to believe the Group is well positioned to take advantage of attractive growth opportunities over the medium term.

eah get a good feeling about it Butler. Can't see any reason to trade out of this rather than treat as long term investment.

This is a great company - nothing to dislike and it climbs a penny a day.

Hold for more

[kendonagasaki] 22/11/2016 07:38

Every time e daily mail tip something you make 8-15%. In at £1.02 here but may take profits today.

[pilot48] 21/11/2016 11:08

Worth keeping an eye on their twitter page as well.

[nw99] 21/11/2016 10:50

Cracking chart and Daily Mail tip seemed to set it alight

[pilot48] 19/11/2016 22:22

No worries. Noticed people "piling" in this week and no thread so set one up.

[melody9999] 19/11/2016 22:01

thanks for setting up the thread pilot. This is one of those boring (get it?!) stocks that I think will do well.

This company should make £10m after tax in the current year which based on its high margins and cash generating capabilities means that at a flotation valuation of £80m it was undervalued.This is now becoming evident.With solid organic growth aided by a few acquisitions over the next 3 years I see these shares doubling as the infrastructure/housebuilding growth story takes hold.

A play on increased spending in rail infrastructure and housebuilding.

Daily Mail tip:

Peel Hunt are forecasting FY17 (April) revs of £98m for pre-tax profit of £12.3m. This predicts growth mainly from specialist piling (high margin and high barriers to entry) and ‘Smartfoot’ (ready made foundations). Small dividend expected next year, expected to grow.

Bolt on acquisitions also expected for further growth, using IPO proceeds/shares/debt.
