"you hope it can help bring people/s together"

with VRS s'holders as the ruling elite, obviously... ;-)

after detailing the misfortune of AGM and Haydale, the Efty report then says:



Another GEIC partner, Versarien, has had better fortune. Shares in the Gloucestershire-based company, which floated in 2013 at 12.25p, have risen to 155p on the back of a string of contract wins, giving the company a market capitalisation of £217m. Versarien creates graphene nano platelets and inks, and recently signed a collaboration agreement with Axia Materials of South Korea to develop enhanced composite materials for electric vehicle batteries and “smart” houses with built-in sensors. Versarien also makes an additive for metals to make them more heat resistant and sintered tungsten carbide, which is used in arduous environments in the oil and gas industry.Revenues increased by 52 per cent to £9m in the year to March 31, while pre-tax losses narrowed from £2.2m to £1.6m.

Exactly, when you realise the 2D solutions on offer to humanity, you hope it can help bring people/s together. Golden age, is win/win, based on mutually benefical co-operation. Aimo. Best ellis

It's on their 3rd tier applications

The FT article has a really good short video about how Graphene can improve water filtration and potentially change the lives of billions of people that don't have clean water. I hope this is an area that VRS will push into quickly as this would be worldwide market and also help with peoples lives - a win, win!

Grabster: I have always wondered why you spell graphene as grapheMe?

[ellissj] 24/8/2018 15:25

Agreed, justin waite said the market struggling to value this opportunity. New industry, and graphene appears to go into everything ! But factually, these are big multis, and hopefully as keen as vrs to bring products to market. Aimo. Best ellis.

I think NDA's will be in play with the supply chain grabster

[bootie64] 24/8/2018 15:23

thanks biz, nicely finishes with the creme de la creme :)

[grabster] 24/8/2018 15:23

Do AECOM actually manufacture any of the products they specify or build with? Until I hear they do, I presume they don't - and they buy in from manufacturers of building materials and components. If that's the case, I'd be interested in finding which of their suppliers they are working with in trialling Versarien's graphene products.

Thx club. Enjoy yr weekend. Good luck in yr job hunting. Best ellis

[club sandwich] 24/8/2018 15:20

rafboy - he's speaking in my head too ;-)

[woodpeckers] 24/8/2018 15:19

bizana, thanks for that link. Shavian, as biz says, just google FT Graphene. Nice piece about VRS. (copyright so can't post.)

[rafboy] 24/8/2018 15:17

Yes, another great podcast and we are clearly very close to a rerate. I know that sounds ridiculous after the current gains but NR is clearly hinting, to me at least, at more to come value wise.

[club sandwich] 24/8/2018 15:16

"sounded like he has the world at his fingertips"

excellent description - that's *exactly* how it sounded ;-)

[ellissj] 24/8/2018 15:13

Indeed, great mood music from neill on the poddy today...playing a blinder, as if it's all coming together, 'substaintially,' dots joining - sounded like he has the world at his fingertips ! Of course, this latest collab, like the others, they pick on a product likely to be quickest to market and in spades, plus lots of other product opportunities too ! Aimo. Dyor. Best ellis

[shavian] 24/8/2018 15:13

Bizana: I don’t subscribe to the FT. All I could see is that “breakthrough for graphene groups remains elusive”. That sort of headline illustrates why I don’t bother to subscribe to the FT!

PS just been browsing the AECOM website. Impressive scope of future projects just tailor made for VRS involvement: Hyperloop, roadways which charge your EV, futuristic buildings, yeh. And a cool video>

[festario] 24/8/2018 15:13

I can't even sell 100 shares at the moment.Someone more important than me is getting out.Good riddance say I .

[sonsonnyjim] 24/8/2018 15:11

Neil sounds pretty relaxed now tbh, there's no "if" for him now it seems. Even said only problem is how many factories and what locations

[bizana] 24/8/2018 15:10

The Ft article can be accessedby non-subscribers by googling "FT Graphene"

[1teepee] 24/8/2018 15:09

Just bought £1120 @ 153.75

[shavian] 24/8/2018 15:08

Spike lol. As Jeremy Corbyn would say “he doesn’t seem to understand English irony”

[anotherdrink] 24/8/2018 15:07

Warmed to how NR stated: 'we also do it in a way that we can scale very quickly and be commercially very viable as well' - 'very viable', all sorted then:)

[luckyorange] 24/8/2018 15:07

I was wrong about the podcast lovat, you will need to cross your fingers that there isn't an RNS Tuesday because that hat will taste disgusting, will tell you the other codes when they appear, remember to point them out to me 😉
