Good news but suggests that there is still a bit of wrangling to do before any deal is announced..looking like it’s a question of when not if now...imo

[ellissj] 15/8/2018 07:25

Surely this news will 'make the news?' Best ellis.

[mj10] 15/8/2018 07:25

lucky
I think it is now in the bag but will take a lot more time and negotiation hence the appointment

[ellissj] 15/8/2018 07:23

Great news for holders and UK PLC. To my mind, This news confirms an agreement reached at Gov to Gov level and a clear path to endgame in play. Maybe resolved between governments following Hunts recent visit there ? Wtfdik ! Ant china experts care to comment ? Fair to say Mood music much more harmonious. Aimo. Glalth. Best ellis.

I recall that it was unheard of for the government to second an employee to a private business to help with its expansion- now they have seconded a 2nd person!! Unbelievable! Not to a blue chip, FTSE 100 business with a billion + market cap but to an AIM quoted small business with sub 100 employees!! When the market wakes up to the VRS this is going to fly

To think some kept saying Neill needed helped and the team needed strengthening.

We have the two guys heavily involved in the graphene standards. Stephen Hodge who is effectively the main man behind Prof Ferrari and the Cambridge graphene centre

Head of Policy and Governance for Outward Direct Investment at the UK Government's Department for International Trade.

Head of Outward Direct Investment at the UK Government's Department for International Trade.

We know about David Kerr and his heavy involvement. I understand he is a great guy too, golf not so good recently, but a great guy.

Why MJ10? I thought it brings it in sight?

Club Sandwich never adds anything of value to these BB's. Buffoon

[jointer13] 15/8/2018 07:20

who would have seen this coming only a year ago. its hard to believe the position we are now in.

what a top notch team we have.

'During this period he will work exclusively for Versarien and will be primarily responsible for overseeing the company's...China expansion implementation' was the standout part for me. "Exclusively", particularly in the context of the previous secondment appointment, tells us things are really hotting up over there with this deal which seems to be gaining momentum and scale by the day - very exciting indeed!

[canalet3] 15/8/2018 07:18

CS ,as you noted fluent mandarin, which the Chinese appreciate very much,
plus,no doubt ,he has many friends and contacts amongst them

[foolishben] 15/8/2018 07:18

As much as we would all like to see a big order, for all but the most short term of traders I think this is even bigger news. A Mandarin speaking, senior government official being brought in to focus exclusively on China expansion? It doesn't take a genius to realise that we are on the verge of something absolutely massive.

How long before the shorting crew throw in the towel? Their efforts have been like trying to sink a warship with airgun pellets.

[luckyorange] 15/8/2018 07:17

Not a price sensitive RNS though?

I do wonder if the '24' has now expanded, Matt obviously can't cope with it all worldwide 😜 .

Impressed to see that Peter Jay is currently "Head of Policy and Governance for Outward Direct Investment at the UK Government's Department for International Trade".

[anotherdrink] 15/8/2018 07:16

'Peter will be key to ensuring the successful execution of our Chinese expansion plans ' - no pressure then.....

[snoopy12] 15/8/2018 07:15

Doubters and shorters that appointment says everything . China is seen as a prized catch for the government and the company.

[jointer13] 15/8/2018 07:14

that is an absolute beauty.

they know what lies ahead...that has got to stir up a lot of interest.

"During this period he will work exclusively for Versarien and will be primarily responsible for overseeing the Company's planned People's Republic of China expansion implementation in the role of Deputy Head of International Strategy and Government Relations."

[superg1] 15/8/2018 07:12

What better answer could they give lmao, note the words 'expansion implementation'.

"will be primarily responsible for overseeing the Company's planned People's Republic of China expansion implementation in the role of Deputy Head of International Strategy and Government Relations."


David Kerr did say, they don't listen and don't do research.

[dolores123] 15/8/2018 07:12

Amazing news!!

[mj10] 15/8/2018 07:12

whilst great news I think it suggests a deal is still some way off

[bobsworth] 15/8/2018 07:12

What a great secondment ! UK gov firmly behind VRS now! Bodes well for 1st China deal soon on VRS terms.

[amt] 15/8/2018 07:11

Wow wow wow that's a bigy. Back of the net.
