...And seeing as the UK Government is now going all out to open new non-EU markets, they will be very keen to get these strategic contracts in the Middle East (which are important not just to WSG but to UK too) over the line...

"The Company is working closely in conjunction with the UK Government on this and other incremental opportunities identified in the country concerned and expects to make a further announcement regarding progress of this opportunity before the end of July 2016."

A remarkable banker...

AS most of WSG's revenue is in USD and they operate mostly outside the EU, Brexit works in their favour.

greetings
I have had wsg on my radar for a while and decided to take a stake last week, at a tad under 15p. Fantastic potential. Timing for me was pure chance but I cannot figure out why it suddenly moved ahead so fast, I don't normally affect the markets so greatly.... Can some knowledgable person give me a line or two about why Darwin were holding this back please?

...Often the most interesting thing about them is the countries they are supplying to.

If they are supplying to airports and government agencies in country 'X' there is more chance of them winning a major total airport contract in that country. imo.

They win lots of these small contacts for supply / training / maintenance etc. But they are generally too small to warrant an RNS.

Interesting, someuwin. take it thats from their website as there is no rns ?

Buy the cheap ones - imo.

20p close on the chart is my guess, then onwards and upwards.

Will bounce once the sell off is complete

Only 9 trading days left in July.

Remember that Hargrave Hale increased their holding in WSG last month by £1,000,000. This was on the back of the pipeline of opportunities WSG are working on.

HH must have had clear visibility and satisfied themselves that WSG can deliver on these transformational deals.

This one post best summs up the immediate (known) share price drivers here...

25 year @30m P/Y Middle East international airport...

"The Company is working closely in conjunction with the UK Government on this and other incremental opportunities identified in the country concerned and expects to make a further announcement regarding progress of this opportunity before the end of July 2016."


20 year border security project...

"The Company has successfully carried out trials and demonstrations in relation to this project in May and is now discussing funding and deployment options with the authorities."


Joint Ventures...

"One such J/V arrangement is already at an advanced stage of discussion and further announcements in this respect will be made in due course."


Additions to the board...

"The Company is currently in discussions with other experienced and qualified individuals and will be reporting on further appointments and changes to its board structures and composition in the near future."

New opportunities...

"The Managed Services Division has continued to build its presence and considerable potential around the world and several new airport opportunities have been identified and are being pursued, in addition to the numerous opportunities already in progress."

Posts appreciated someuwin; thanks.

The fact that they are talking about out-sourcing the running of the ferry service to concentrate on the airport opportunities is further evidence that at least some these mega-contracts are about to come to fruition...

"...The Company has engaged an experienced marine and risk management specialist to undertake a commercial and operational review of the project. In view of the Company's growing long term aviation prospect opportunities, and the momentum with various negotiations underway, part of their remit will include the management of the ferry service on a long term basis."

Would appear the Sierra Queen has been moving around her berth a little.

Long term chart in the header shows the levels we should be getting back up to.
