So many late reported sells, didn't dent the price at all. The MM's absorbed them.Likely in order to mark them up massively after the next RNS.Cue; next RNS.

Well said Fest.

Minnows find it hard to attract quality staff, part of it is the job security risk.
However with a few names now signed up it is probably starting to look more attractive. On the risk side anyone with some ambition should realise getting in early could prove lucrative in the long term if VRS does as well as I think they will.

Unfortunately as in all things companies talk BS to attract folk and hence VRS talking of big names looking may have fallen on stoney ground but now people know it's far from BS.

Arab, this is true, and I suffered badly from that.But, on balance, the 'one man band' accusation can equally be levelled at GVC.CEO Kenny Alexander, almost single handedly guided GVC from being an AIM minnow, to the brink of entering the FTSE 100,where they are today.He simply attracted excellent people to join his team along the way.I'm sure Mr Ricketts is well aware of what he needs to do to strengthen along the journey.

superg,
I have no doubt that CEO and CFO have both grown companies before. I was answering the concern that this company is a one man show, and if that one man were unable to work, then would the company survive? My firm view is that it would do more than survive, it would continue to thrive.
I have every faith in Neill, but just covering any potential downsides.
I believe the hardest part has been done; ie, securing the manufacturing and testing the material to ensure it "works". The next stage is securing the commercialisation of the product, and he seems to be doing that very successfully as well.
So everything in the garden is rosy. Just a couple more RNS's this week please, and the turkey will taste even nicer!

They have done growth before the CEO and CFO used to work together.


BTW tennis my crystal ball says folk being interviewed shortly for positions, I spoke to one of them last week and the simple advice was no BS VRS don't like BS. If you don't like hard work and don't like straight talk then VRS isn't the place for you etc.

Don’t think the article over the weekend has had the desires effect! Looking great here

[luckyorange] 18/12/2017 16:18

Yeah tenniselbow, thanks for your words of wisdom and the selling at 62p is good to know, not dgduncan are you , defies logic to come in and say you have sold then start knocking the company set up.

If I was stupid I would think you are trying to talk it down, doubt it though you wouldn't do that would you seeing as you no longer have an interest in the company?

Selling at 62p is a positive by the way lol.

Neill is doing a great job, and has taken the business from a garage to c£100 million. It's his baby.
However, if he got hit by the proverbial bus, I believe that a high quality CEO could step in to manage the growth. A different skillset is required for growth, than that for start-up. Make no mistake, I want Neill to oversee the company for as long as he wishes, and have confidence that he will do a superb job, but don't have a concern if he weren't there.

anley, absolutely no idea - but imagine safe drinking water in third world countries, hospitals with no nasty bugs lurking around, the same for domestic homes, soil decontamination, and that's just for starters. Clearly there is a lot of work to be done before commercials can be agreed.

thnniselbow it appears that runthejoules may have the nanene answer for your elbow and perhaps your brain. Goodbye.

You have a one man company who is doing well for the share holders but is he a health man ?

That looks well down the road to me on that topic.

[anley] 18/12/2017 15:21

RealCoolTrader.......thank for the post but can you tell us what it means in commercial terms.

I would really like to know what after sales service VRS gives a customer after they have purchased a drop or two?

[superg1] 18/12/2017 15:21

Tennis

Not seem you for while.

As. I recall you said board should go then CEO should go and then you bought 250k in one tranch (or claimed you did) saying there was a buyer for millions of shares with Peel.

Not playing games were you :-)

At least we know where at least 250k shares came from re recent selling.

Thanks realcooltrader - Interesting article and another grand-scale potential application. China needs a lot of pollution/soil contamiation control.
I don't want to say that VRS will one day, end up as IMG, ... taken over by a company that wants to become the biggest chinese graphene mnaufacturer.

[the stigologist] 18/12/2017 15:13

goodbye and good riddance to bad rubbish

[realcooltrader] 18/12/2017 15:06

Still think that anti pollutant/disinfectant is a humongous area that will benefit:

bye tenniselbow. I see that you long term view is 6 days!! You will not be missed.
