I have a problem with many politicians of all persuasions, Club. The way you go on you suggests it's confined to just a certain party.

[club sandwich] 29/8/2018 10:19

elliss - oh, I'm absolutely with you on that. Not a doubt in my mind about VRS mgmt, just the politically-motivated clowns at the top of the departments they deal with. MW seems like a very sound guy - it's that incompetent liar Liam Fox I have a problem with...

[runthejoules] 29/8/2018 10:17

I'm backing Britain!

(And SoftBank for an IQE bid at £2)

[ellissj] 29/8/2018 10:13

Richard

I'm not sure who your posts about IQE are aimed at re negativity, done no research. I'm not negative about them but a few made some quite strong pump posts and IQE is far better than VRS type points. I popped over to have look and saw that some posters claimed they have had it pumped to them too

EG a pump to get people buying IQE.

The issue with IQE if you can call it that is revenue visibility. The bears have been attacking it. I say issue in the context of something for the market to look at and forecasts to be missed hit or exceeded.

IQE has done well and should continue to do well.

It's 25 years into its business and 18 or so on the AIM.

I would hope in 15 years time we would have good visibility about graphene. The market and where VRS is.

But if graphene valleys are to appear in various places in the coming few years then I don't expect the share price to be anywhere near £1.50.

BTW the £1.80 you talk of on a 15 PE for IQE equates to £36 mill profit hence the PE sits higher which is typical and expected for growth stocks.

Government will be able to say success partly due to this campaign and will ensure publicity. i my opionion it will be worth the payoff as i would love to see VRS all over the News and in all the papers . perhaps thats why Neill had a photo shoot.

...is this a precursor to an announcement that will be good for GREAT Britain 🇬🇧

So Peter Jay starts with a holiday. Nice. (pre-arranged, fair enough).
The government is going to want the earliest possible evidence of the benefit Peter and Matt have brought to Versarien - they need something to boast of. The mere placement of them isn't going to look more than a gesture unless something very significant comes of it and quick.

For the government to proudly use Versarien as an example of what can be achieved - Versarien needs to be boasting foreign orders, not just collaborations that are expected to possibly (probably) lead to orders. I am therefore inclined to believe that the government is privy to something more than what we already know, and there IS a sizeable foreign order being shortly announced - tying in with NR's "You don't know what I know" responses to doubters.

Spike "Clubby if you look at all the international graphics that this campaign uses, they almost always associate the wording directly with the Union Flag - it is a coherent strategy / marketing scheme."

which tells you rather more about the outdated world-view of the Brexiteers than it does about the UK's current place in the world...

The 'Great' in Great Britain actually cane about from its position as the largest island in the British Isles.

[clint fleecewood] 29/8/2018 10:02

Seems to have perked the buying up anyway.

[hattie1] 29/8/2018 09:59

...well said Spike ..

[hattie1] 29/8/2018 09:58

...well you are a grumpy lot today .. another positive RNS showing the increasing HMG support for Versarien...

[spike_1] 29/8/2018 09:58

I'm perfectly aware of the context of 'great' with regard to the geographical political references, but the campaign makes a play on the word 'great' which is perfectly valid for countries that recognise the references to great Britain.

Edit: well said Cheek212

[verulamium] 29/8/2018 09:54

Wouldn't "Another GREAT BREXport" be a bit snappier?

[investmentguru] 29/8/2018 09:53

There's actually a political/geographical difference between the two terms - Great Britain is England, Scotland & Wales, whilst the United Kingdom is England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland.

[pshevlin] 29/8/2018 09:53

The Great in Britain only refers to the size of the combined countries. Nothing to do with its status. No Deal.....soon to be no Great Britain.(or UK as we know it). Might take a while but it will happen.

[spike_1] 29/8/2018 09:52

Clubby if you look at all the international graphics that this campaign uses, they almost always associate the wording directly with the Union Flag - it is a coherent strategy / marketing scheme.

Versarien plc (AIM: VRS), the advanced materials engineering group, is pleased to announce a further partnership with the Department for International Trade (DIT), by becoming an official "Export Champion", in order to help promote the UK Government's "Exporting is GREAT" campaign. The overall aim of the campaign is to create a movement that inspires more UK companies to sell overseas, in line with the UK Government's stated policies to encourage exports.

Given Versarien's current export success through its variety of international collaborations and future exporting and outward direct investment (ODI) strategy, Versarien now joins select companies from across the UK offering their expertise and advice to inspire companies to export and support existing exporters looking to expand into new markets.

[club sandwich] 29/8/2018 09:49

Spike - you may be right but that's not how I took it. And I think most places refer to us as 'the UK' these days, not by some imperialistic anachronism...

[spike_1] 29/8/2018 09:48

Club: the Great is a play on Great Britain. Words that are recognised world wide!

[club sandwich] 29/8/2018 09:48

Thought of course further evidence of the closening ties between VRS and the DIT are to be welcomed. That is a consummation most devoutly to be wished.

[alchemy] 29/8/2018 09:46

I think. VRS could have stayed aloof from strap line playtime. Could have, should have.
