Nice to see some life back into this stock. Plenty of opportunity to re visit the highs and beyond over the next few months.

Dahhad, good luck with it. Think we need to see some numbers to understand if the company are progressing and the feudal fighting needs to settle down/stop.
I still hold but am sitting on a loss, would add more if it looks like they are turning.

Made my 1st purchase here today and hopefully it will make for a Happy New Year, especially if the family issues are sorted satisfactorily!! Good luck to all fellow shareholders!

[hopeful holder] 23/12/2017 16:14

Hoping that this company can get cracking with building their business now this debacle is over.My only concern being that the Ellis family try to exert further influence again or start to sell heavily which will depress any rise for quite a while.Fingers crossed all act in the interests for all shareholders.

Peel Hunt today reiterate 140p target price.

Outside of the Ellis family shareholding, 98% of shareholders voted for the Ellis resolutions to be shown the door - nice one, reason prevails.

Results of the EGM posted after the market closed - existing board won everything, so now we wait and see if anything else happens next week. Probably a slow drift upwards?

[hooverdam99] 12/12/2017 18:08

Seems very strange to me that Mr Ellis says he has no confidence in The Board. It was he who appointed Jon Fenton CEO in 2010 and had every confidence in him for 7 years pre and post IPO until Mr Ellis left. He also appointed Adrian Barden and Robin Williams to The Board prior to the IPO. So if Mr Ellis is not happy now it’s of his own making!He is not the future, he is the past.

[bogdan branislov] 06/12/2017 23:48

Yes, looking at the facts and the company response it looks very much as you say. The point they make about not being rushed into acquisitions is a good one, rushed acquisitions are nearly always bad acquisitions. The board response to this episode has impressed me. I exited when all this kicked off, I think I was hasty, starting to buy back in now.

Having worked for the company and knowing how Ellis operates, this whole escapade is nothing short of him having to have the last say. Jon Fenton was a decent bloke and had done well, Thomas Lindup was just a way of Ellis having someone to feed information back to him. I think the board recognised that he wasn't actually earning his £270k a year salary as he had no useful skills to bring to the table. (solicitor but not a structural engineer)

[thorne3] 28/11/2017 15:24

Ellis and his son in law Lindup abandoned the company shortly after flotation without giving any prior indication of this either to new investors or professional advisors not to mention the company's brokers. This reckless move caused considerable disruption within the company not least to its share price. For these two individuals to now seek to reinstate themselves on the company's board is nothing short of outrageous and should be resisted at all costs.The company is clearly prospering without their involvement and shareholders should vote accordingly at the forthcoming meeting.

[hooverdam99] 28/11/2017 11:07

Some reasonable sized buys recently 100k and 250k. Interest is rising and will further in my opinion.

89p +2.50p

Nice to see the stock bouncing back anter the update and hopping on reaching levels appropriate to the profits forecast

VANL investing for future growth:

'The Group has also continued to invest, acquiring nine new rigs which will enhance its service offering.'

Looks like the Chancellor is going to go big on spending for housing/infrastructure.

This from Paul Scott on Stockopedia today:

'I don't normally invest in contracting companies these days, as so often something goes wrong.

Having said that, this share is starting to look very cheap. With a reasonable trading update today, it could be worth a closer look. I'm starting to get tempted!'
