Thanks jon I'll read through it tonight in detail. I understand old WORK shares will be consolidated 32:1 hence 96p equivalent based on suspension price versus placing price of 140p (and hopefully listing price tomorrow).

well.....

Work Group plc (LSE - AIM: "WORK") announces that at its Annual General Meeting held earlier today, all the proposed resolutions were duly passed, with the exception of Resolutions 8 and 9, which were withdrawn by the board. Resolution 8 would have allowed the Directors to allot shares for cash, without making any such prior offer to shareholders. Resolution 9 would have permitted the directors to carry out a buy back up to 2,862,247 of the Company's issued ordinary shares by market purchase

Don't know what to make of that!

Good to see you here chrisis33, i'm predicting we have reached bottom unless another institution decides to offload. Directors buying is a vote of confidence and with the cash to back them up and more time to concentrate on WORK we should soon be back to a small profit. The overseas businesses should also be improving given the pick up in the worlds economy.

Edit.. did look at EMR earlier in the year after a recommendation from GHF but held MTEC, WORK and NWKI in the recruitment sector so passed but glad to see it doing well for you.

Sorry to hear of the death of Michael Dedman at the young age of 52, my thoughts are with his family and work colleagues.

Well as some of us thought Armstrong Craven sold to isis-
The Company announces that it has today disposed of the business and all trading assets of Armstrong Craven ("AC") to Isis Equity Partners for a total consideration of GBP2.8 million (the "Disposal"). The consideration comprises an initial cash payment of GBP1.8 million, a deferred cash payment of GBP300,000 and retention by the Company of certain trading assets. The Disposal will result in the Company incurring a tax charge of approximately GBP490,000.

Reasons for the Disposal

As announced on 3 December 2012, the Company has undertaken a strategic review of the business and has considered all viable opportunities to maximise value for shareholders in light of the disappointing trading results for the year ended 31 December 2012 and the changing recruitment services market in general. This review highlighted that the resources of the Company are not sufficient to meet the investment needs of both the AC and Work Communications and Resourcing businesses and consequently the Board decided to seek potential buyers which culminated in the current Disposal.

During the year ended 31 December 2012, AC generated an operating profit before exceptional items of GBP266,000 (2011: GBP934,000), and an operating loss after exceptional items (including an impairment of GBP2,921,000) of GBP2,683,000 (2011: profit GBP934,000) and had net assets of GBP2,657,000 (2011: GBP5,397,000).

Following the Disposal, which will result in the management team and other employees (in total 51 people) of AC passing across under TUPE regulations, the Company intends to concentrate on its remaining businesses of Work Communications and Work Resourcing. Over the past months there have been extensive changes in the Work Communications business, with greater focus placed on the recruitment management activities of the Resourcing businessand the development of combined services with the communications teams. In addition there has been a reduction in the income derived from communication activities and the Board believes that by targeting a more even mix of revenue streams the Company will have a more secure base from which to develop its business going forward.

The Company is targeting to bring its central overheads in line with its reduced activities following the Disposal and is already in the process of moving to smaller London offices. It intends to deploy some of the proceeds from the Disposal to increase the sales and business development capabilities of the Work Communications and Resourcing businesses. In addition, although the Company has been historically debt free, the working capital needs have become greater in recent months and consequently some of the proceeds will be used to eliminate the Company's current indebtedness.
