Who is selling???

Huge exporter? Presumably that means revenue ultimately for VRS, as they are part of the group?

"The Henan-Gloucestershire Trade & Co-operation event featured five industry champions from both regions.

Gloucestershire was represented by motion control pioneers Renishaw; graphene experts Versarien; specialist education Hartpury College & University; global food technology and research centre Campden BRI; and Britain's greenest energy provider Ecotricity."

Thanks Jointer13:

"The company, part of the Versarien Plc Group, is a huge exporter, supplying extremely hard-wearing, tailor-made parts to 40 different industries."

Nice to know of another Versarien subsidiary doing well under Versarien ownership and winning plaudits.


Worth clicking through all the tabs on their website for a full picture of what they do and for whom.

Winslow MD's firm named company of year in Buckinghamshire Business Awards

Total Carbide Ltd scoops company of the year and apprentice and young person employer of the year

A managing director from Winslow is celebrating after his company scooped two top honours at the Buckinghamshire Business Awards.

Andreas Hohmann leads Total Carbide Ltd, which was named company of the year and apprentice and young person employer of the year.

Based in Westcott Venture Park, Aylesbury, the business makes everything from bespoke parts for Rolls Royce jet engines to fuel pumps and hospital equipment.

A delighted Andreas said his 23 staff were “over the moon” at the company’s success.

“To have won apprentice and young person employer of the year was a huge achievement for us but to also win company of the year is absolutely amazing,” he said.

“All businesses have had a tough year with the Covid-19 pandemic so I thought that one of the entrants in the healthcare sector would be more deserving. But we are very grateful to have been recognised with this award.

“It’s a credit to our team and to how hard they’ve worked over the last year and it’s a huge morale boost.

“People in manufacturing are not really ‘show’ people. We just do what we do. But this puts us on the map and shows our owners how good we are.

“We’ll look forward to celebrating our success properly when the whole team is back together.”

That entails a huge barbecue for all staff outside the front of Total Carbide’s building when Covid restrictions allow. The apprentices will enjoy a night out playing themed golf in Watford.

The company, part of the Versarien Plc Group, is a huge exporter, supplying extremely hard-wearing, tailor-made parts to 40 different industries.

“We are ambassadors for Buckinghamshire in a way,” said Andreas. “It is appreciated that we are a manufacturing company in Bucks.”

Total Carbide, which has its origins in the 1950s as mining tools specialist Austin Hoy, moved to the venture park five years ago.

It is a huge supporter of young people and has strong links with local schools, particularly Aylesbury High.

The school sends interns for work experience, and the company also offers work based apprenticeships in association with Cranfield University and the OU.

It promotes a culture of continuous learning to all employees and works hard to inspire young people from primary and secondary school education through to work experience, apprenticeships and graduate placements to become the next generation of engineers.

“We realise that we need to recruit good people,” said Andreas. “But you cannot get them from advertising. We need to nurture them.”

The company certainly won’t be resting on its laurels.

It is currently developing ceramics with the Open University for rocket propulsion!

Or thereabouts certainly.

This seems much more comfortable in the 30's! The 40's make people nervous and full of expectation. After a bit of excitement normal service has been resumed today sadly!!

[whatsthepoint] 07/6/2021 17:46

You can with professional status.

[1madmarky] 07/6/2021 17:43

Thought vrs were on the naughty list hence can't buy via spreads

[whatsthepoint] 07/6/2021 16:58

Also Multiple buys today were well over screen offer price. All sorts of games being played today by the city crooks. Working their socks off to keep a lid on this.

[whatsthepoint] 07/6/2021 16:51

You couldn't buy on spread bet even tiny positions so why is it lower Market makers seeking stock for shorts to close
