£13.88K buy just before close should help keep the momentum of rising going in the morning.

Same directors were buying loads in 2021 and 2022 at £2.50 or thereabouts so can't see that as a buy signal.

I have a bid in for 100000 at 25p. Will I get them?

[shinnas] 09/9/2024 06:33

They should have declared a rights issue with results.

[hybrasil] 09/9/2024 06:23

What a stupid statement to issue. Share price at an all time low and now they say they need more money.

I posted over a year ago however that I thought it was then worth about 25 p.

I’m now not so sure. They won’t get a rights issue away at 20p.

It’s a mess

[hybrasil] 09/9/2024 06:19

The best thing they could do for shareholders is to wind this thing up.

Professional managment and spec building do not go together

UK CONSTRUCTION SECTOR ‘TURNS A CORNER’, SAYS PMI

The UK construction sector's recovery continued in August, although the pace of expansion eased slightly, according to the latest PMI report.

Data also showed housing activity rising at its quickest pace since September 2022 with business optimism remaining relatively upbeat.

The headline S&P Global UK Construction Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) – a seasonally adjusted index tracking changes in total industry activity – was at 53.6 in August, well above the 50 'no change' level for the sixth month running.

While the latest reading was lower than July's 26-month high of 55.3, it still signalled a solid expansion of overall construction output.

Commercial activity was the best-performing segment (index at 53.7), despite the pace of growth slipping to its lowest since March.

A number of firms noted a boost from rising sales enquiries and the release of new orders following the general election.

Civil engineering activity (51.8) meanwhile expanded at only a moderate pace that was notably weaker than in July.

Residential work was the only sub-sector to gain momentum, with growth accelerating to its fastest since September 2022 (52.7).

Higher levels of housing activity were supported by improving market conditions and lower borrowing costs.

August data indicated another robust increase in total new work across the construction sector.

The rate of expansion was much stronger than seen on average in the first half of 2024.

Survey respondents suggested that improving economic conditions and greater domestic political stability had lifted customer demand.

Confidence levels were much higher than at the same time in 2023. That said, some firms cited concerns about public sector budgets and longer-term prospects for infrastructure spending.

August data indicated that staffing levels were broadly unchanged, which ended a three-month period of expansion.

Tim Moore, economics director at S&P Global Market Intelligence, said: "The UK construction sector appears to have turned a corner after a difficult start to 2024, with renewed vigour in the house building segment the most notable development in August.

“Residential work expanded at the fastest pace for almost two years as lower borrowing costs and a gradual recovery in market conditions helped to boost activity.

"Commercial building was the best-performing part of the construction sector as the improving UK economic backdrop resulted in stronger order books, but the postelection bounce in demand faded somewhat in August.

"Another robust expansion of incoming new work was recorded in August, highlighting that new project starts are set to support a broader rebound in construction activity during the months ahead.


"Improving sales pipelines and a turnaround in demand conditions led to a relatively strong degree of business optimism across the construction sector.
