Aspin have gone into administration which opens things up

Figures will be massaged as I'm sure the financial controller will be after PP's job probably be dangled to her on a promise and they will get the result they "need" it's a shame PP is leaving though as he is very good for the company and they should have kept him. All they need is to be audited properly and it will ALL come undone but as a shareholder I wouldn't want that because it is Carillion all over again but thankfully not going to affect as many people when it goes pop. Such a shame. Thought I had invested wisely noises made less than 2 months ago shares would go up again....

I heard that PP handed his notice in after being asked to ‘massage figures’.

So the end of years are indeed going to be interesting.

I'm a long term investor so I'm holding onto these guys for a wee bit. Getting hammered in all fronts ie Brexit, Building downturn etc. But that's ok.However, when things start looking up, I'd like to see them chase hard for big contracts and our main man had better see that we are preparing for the good times ahead and doing all the spade work now.

is everyone else waiting with baited breath for the full year results ?
There has been a new article published and I get the feeling we are being prepared for bad news !

hxxps://www.theconstructionindex.co.uk/news/view/no-pain-no-gain

I don’t see the evidence of ‘turnaround skills' from the CEO and the author seems to take artistic license with the facts’.

Barhale CE 2010 to 2013 and left in Jan 14 after very poor 2013 results 2.6 million loss on 124.4 turnover. He leaves amid a 'management re-structure' in which the chairman and MD return to a hands on approach/ take back control.
2014 - Balfour Beatty UK for 8 months, with a series of profit warnings and again 'management re-structure'.
nothing until 2017 / 18 then is BB HS2 and we all know how well HS2 is going.
then over to VE with profit warnings and share price slump and ROE considerably below average.

Does anyone have any good news ?

Don't fret doom mongers, I'm still here!
I guess you guys either want to buy at a lower price or just enjoy hanging around enjoying others misfortune? Of why would you be here....??
Either way, can't see price dropping much more, so a good chance to buy in? (if you actually do buy shares??)
I note the MMs dropped price today 8.9% on £45K worth of shares traded, so could easily bounce tomorrow.....GLA Holders and Buyers! Rich

Sub 40p looking possible before the month is out.

[jwball] 02/7/2019 13:11

Where's Lammylover when you need him?

[creditcrunchies] 10/5/2019 08:45

this stock shows up as too good to be true on Stockopedia when you read the comments on here stating the company is in collapse, the employees leaving in their droves, directors leaving, nobody left with any knowledge. None of this shows up on the balance sheet.

[redartbmud] 08/5/2019 09:56

Oh dear...Leaning tower of Pisa?

[citizen_kane] 08/5/2019 09:49

Mike Ellis selling his shares.

Staff leaving.

Paul Pearson leaving.

Profit Warnings.

End of year accounts to be scrutinised.

Something is brewing and on the horizon.

[redartbmud] 08/5/2019 09:49

Are we on unstable ground here?

[jwball] 08/5/2019 09:33

Interesting that Pearson has left, he had a six months notice period in his contract so did they know six months ago or only today?

[jamesk3] 08/5/2019 07:25

hxxps://www.constructionenquirer.com/2019/05/08/van-elle-finance-director-resigns/

another director that guided VE through its IPO gone - Paul Pearson FD now gone - sinking ship ?
just when price was on the up ! hopefully a good replacement in the wings.

worrying that Ellis has sold out so cheaply ? he must not see any value in selling at that price. I have reduced my holding accordingly. Holding back a bit hoping to recoup the loss

[jwball] 03/5/2019 13:03

That's a terrible loss, if only he'd sold at 110.

[lammylover] 02/5/2019 21:16

As predicted on 27/4, the someone who dumped 16m shares was Ellis. Surprised he's got rid at 48p though. Serious loss...Rich

[keyno] 01/5/2019 11:31

In the interests of balance, above statement dated Jan 2018. Poster dates from Feb 2019. My, some people are making some efforts here...............

[msufi77] 01/5/2019 07:39

no sellers cant buy any nt trade only should hit 70s

[cheshire pete] 30/4/2019 20:35

Agree Keyno, Lloy a better bet. VANL not for widows or orphans, could grow spectacularly or go to dust just as quickly. Traders seem interested judging by comments though. Should say not a holder, watching for the minute.
