This thread is now: Jarvis Won't survive ( it won't will it?)*
C'mon guys, don't be so negative, there's still the prospect/excitement watching their Auditors (of past years) squirming-about explaining why they managed to overlook what was like the chip-pan catching fire when the locum chippy was sweeping the floor, to create a good impression.
When will Auditors work in the interest of shareholders, Customers, Employees and the Government (as tax-receiver and Dole-provider)? - until this nettle is grasped we must expect major companies to fold regularly, with considerable fall-out. At least when a tiddler goes it doesn't affect a whole City. Marconi, Mayflower - the list gets longer.
*(Course it won't - who would give them a contract and be willing to pay a fair price? - deals they'll attract are cash-on-completion, if you please)

Jarvis investors approve rescue
Shareholders of Jarvis, the engineering services business, have approved a financial restructuring scheme that hands 95 per cent of the firms equity to its creditors in return for the cancellation of 350m of debt. The company had warned it would implement the plan, which it sees as the only alternative to insolvency, even without the blessing of investors.
Jarvis has announced the appointment of Richard Entwhistle, former director of the rail business of its rival Amey, as Chief Operating Officer.

isn't this a pretty risky move for somebody to leave the somewhat more stable environment of Amey? I'm thinking he must be fairly certain the company will survive.. could there be a recovery opportunity in the offing? any thoughts??

jk9: Not strictly a recovery stock. Theirs is a strategy for survival with a mediocre future and little scope for small investors seeking an exciting ride.

They don't need money anymore. Good U trurn.

Jarvis says will keep highway maintenance business previously earmarked for sale

Lovell has bought a big chunk of JRVS also - so does he feel lucky?
Well maybe, but then he felt lucky enough to get into JRVS a while ago and look where that got him.......the real problem IMHO is "who will give them an order?" - I doubt if they'll be working on the railway for a while and their reputation in schools is poor to say the least - So where does JRVS excell, where can they pick up a fat contract and perform well, quickly and satisfy the client?
Answers on a very small postcard (please remember the stamp) - I just don't know - they have shown determination to be rubbish in all departments - unless I'm overlooking some new business-angle that has eluded me - or there is an angle that needs incompetance and is willing to pay for it.
No? - Well that's it then, expect the sp to halve until they get a better reputation - and if Retail is anything to go by - you build a good reputation over many Years and a bad one over as many Months.
I used to hold JRVS in the hope of recovery.......not any more.......but good luck to all who sail in her.

Ooops !!!!!!!!!!!!

fairly well overdone... possibly... maybe...???

BigTed
Possibly I'm not going near it to volatile could go to 6p or 60p ?

Oh dear 20p - it doesn't get much worse than this ( answers on a postcard, pse)....yet today there seems to be a DCB.

The RNS suggest this year is material below - - with a substantial loss.....and it also say the Gov and Railtrack is committed to an on-going program of mainteneance -
SO why should anyone think this means "Jarvis"..?
If that's what the Directors mean then they've bungled it again - - - but I suspect they chose their words correctly - that is there is NO Contract in place which means JRVS will be OK this next year - - - they will have to make long and expensive bids for this work - which is shorthand for "unprofitable"

So, holders, out there - - - - Do You Feel Lucky ?

It's about time the Drectors resigned, without bonus, severance, or any other goodies - just Go, - - Please.

Bad day for Jarvis down another 10%

I am guessing 6p before 60p.

Time to buy back now the dust has settled.

Barkley is killing the MMs. Bought on 26th, sold with profit on 27th, started to buy after 30% crash while evil started to short Jarvis.
Evil has to either close its position or or or go against Barkley, IMO

FT was talking about a bid.
