Club,
When do you hear on the interview?

Perhaps Amiblu agreed to continue talking with Haydale because they told them they could source some proper Graphene to trial from you know who!!!

[ellissj] 11/9/2018 07:28

Of course liam fox quoted in that aston martin article, welcoming investment skilled jobs etc to wales ? Interesting ! Best ellis

[grabster] 11/9/2018 07:27

ellis NR did make previous tweet reference to some new faces

[ellissj] 11/9/2018 07:25

'New team members?' Leftfield for me; secondees from collab partners to develop tech etc? Aimo. Best ellis

David Kerr: Replying to @neillricketts - 'Away to order my DB9 ?' - is David on his way to finalise a deal?

[owenga] 11/9/2018 07:22

Yup, there test didn't go well. Maybe they should have sourced their graphene from VRS!

Interesting

Theresa May says UK will 'lead from the front' on development of zero-emission cars

[eel tamer] 11/9/2018 07:09

Huge differance or huge difference? Huge difference.

[cheek212] 11/9/2018 07:07

Not good news for Haydale I'll wager!

[wuzy] 11/9/2018 07:06

Haydale Rns out,

[sonsonnyjim] 11/9/2018 07:04

No RNS, interesting day ahead

[shammytime] 11/9/2018 07:03

No post for 16 minutes. Very eerie

Dafad: interesting post if somewhat O/T. Our guys were in Cardiff yesterday, not London, at the Labour-run Welsh Assembly Government. My guess is that were seeing Business Secretary Ken Skates, a good egg who is streets ahead of most of the dross which inhabits that building. Skates is very much the local political force behind the development of the SE Wales Semiconductor Cluster led by IQE and Cardiff Uni.

Your post showed the team from Detroit Electric visiting Conservative Welsh Secretary Alun Cairns in London. Interesting company; you might think them to be still American. Wrong; they are Hong Kong headquartered with a manufacturing base in Leamington Spa (for now), building an electric sports car based on the Lotus Elise. Head man Albert Lam (2nd from right on front row of your Twitter photo) worked for Lotus and JLR before buying Detroit Electric from its US founders. Probably backed by Chinese big bucks, I suspect Geely because of the Lotus and Volvo links. Sorry about going further OT, but if HMG Welsh Office is trying to get Detroit Electric to Wales maybe alongside Aston Martin at St Athan, there could be logic in co-locating a graphene supplier to both? Just musing as we await 0700...

And who was it who told us to stop obsessing about the morning RNS? It was ME, bloody fool. Can’t help it :0)

Edit: Ah well, back to sleep.......

Unluckily or unlikley? Huge differance

[shavian] 11/9/2018 05:15

Sparky, thanks for a reprise of that podcast with Justin and Nicola Duke. Very nostalgic talking about VRS support levels at 62p. When? 22 May FFS!

Justin got one thing wrong however. He spoke about MW being seconded at no cost to Versarien, and Nic was concerned that the taxpayer is picking up the tab. Not true, I had it from MW in person at the golf that VRS reimburses HMG for the services of MW (and presumably PJ) for their salaries. They remain as fully paid and pensioned civil servants during their secondments.

[dafad] 11/9/2018 04:30

These guys were with the Welsh buisness sectary yesterday,but the meeting was in London

[pcjoe] 11/9/2018 00:27

To me, it makes a lot of sense for the UK Govt to be the first major global customer/sponsor of large scale ( two tonne plus per annum?) and ongoing graphene production - Proof of concept re scalability & quality industrial production will go a long way to launching the UKs tech lead & choice of graphene on the world stage & capture new jobs - Of course they will need an application (or a few) for the produce - But even giving away the final product locally on a limited basis might spark increased UK innovation & increase global leadership - Local UK customers/beneficiaries could be academic, industrial & Govt depts. like defence etc - Our former EU allies could pay full whack!

Not expecting VRS to give it away mind...

[high park] 11/9/2018 00:13

How do you do it, bootie ?

[diversification] 10/9/2018 23:08

This momentum is very unluckily to fizzle out tomorrow, I am expecting the market to force VRS into a statement re share price movement.

Unless we get an RNS

[lovat scout] 10/9/2018 22:57

Elbillo - I think this breakout move has been coming for a while with the realisation that the few remaining IIs are unlikely to be under pressure to divest now, a bullish twitterati this morning, the continuing accumulation of positive updates (inc golf day feedback) and bears throwing in the towel. Consolidation at this level would be very encouraging.

AIMHO etc......
