Tanfield Group - any info out there? (TAN)     

mr mike - 21 Jan 2004 13:49

Tanfield Group is the new company name of Comeleon. As I understand it, Comoleon was getting into trouble so TAN (paerent company?) took over. Since this has happened the share price has dropped by 0.25p each day for the last week or so (on average) and are now around the 3p mark with very little activity.

Does anyone know much about this company or previously held stock in Comeleon? There is virtually no info out there other than on the company website.

cheers

Mike

Thanks cynic!

Battery manufacturer I think is a swiss company (MES-DEA) but do not think listed in UK!

I was just wondering if it was AXE, but sadly no. So duracell it is for my go-cart!

cynic - 29 May 2007 15:45 - 159 of 1076

am told on good authority that one should not use Duracell in one's vibe as they are too powerful and burn out the motor ...... good trivia for your pub quiz!

cynic - 01 Jun 2007 20:08 - 160 of 1076

great company and great prospects, but has sp now got too far ahead of itself and due for a breather or a modest retrenchment?

Iankn73 - 02 Jun 2007 10:55 - 161 of 1076

I keep thinking the same then it just seems to race away again. The general market cant seem to get enough of this one which I'm delighted with but who knows....

Fred1new - 02 Jun 2007 13:49 - 162 of 1076

I have a large holding (for me) of Tanfield in SIPPs and the company has done a power of good to them.

However , when I check the PE of this company it is horrendous to the rest of the market. BUT, it is developing very quickly and EPS ans therefore pegs are V,good.

Its order book seems to be full to overflowing and the future looks rosy.


There has been a lot of institutional buying.

My only fear is what the cost of necessary expansion for the foreseeable production.

I think the market as a whole is "jumpy" and there will be a retracement sometime and this will probably this will hit TAN as well, but I will try and sweat it out if it does occur.

BUT DYOH.

cynic - 04 Jun 2007 08:20 - 163 of 1076

as advised over w/e have now banked my very healthy 30%+ profit after 6 weeks ..... however, it was intersting to see that those shares got snapped up without a second's hesitation.

am sure i shall be back in here in due course

cynic - 06 Jun 2007 08:18 - 164 of 1076

current target price for buying back in currently looks to be 145/150 - i.e. when sp comes back to meet 25 dma

cynic - 06 Jun 2007 11:52 - 165 of 1076

arguably a bit bravely, i bought back at 150 having missed the very bottom (or least today's current) .... in truth did not expect to see such a sudden tumble, but there must be quiote a lot of short term money being pulled or forced off the table

CONTRACT WIN



Tanfield is pleased to announce that Smith Electric Vehicles has won its first
contract from the Royal Mail for its next generation zero emission vehicles.



The Royal Mail has ordered one of each of the Edison and Newton higher function
delivery vehicles, for trials. The vehicles will be deployed in London, in
parcel and post distribution operations.



Edison is a sub-3.5t electric van, built using the Ford Transit shell. Newton is
sold in 7.5t and 9t configurations. Both vehicles have restricted top speeds of
up to 50mph and are capable of covering 150 miles on one battery charge.



Royal Mail has a fleet of over 33,000 commercial delivery vehicles operating
across the UK, including approximately 10,700 3.5t vans and van derivatives,
plus 2,500 7.5t trucks.



In line with a growing order book and increased interest in both Newton and
Edison, Tanfield is installing extra electric vehicle production capacity at
Vigo Centre, its 250,000sq ft assembly facility in Tyne & Wear, UK.



Darren Kell, Chief Executive of The Tanfield Group Plc, said: "We are delighted
to have sold our first vehicles into the Royal Mail. The adoption of the Low
Emission Zone in London and expected road pricing in 10 other urban conurbations
across the UK will significantly increase the addressable market for electric
vehicles. To this end, we are now installing additional production capability at
a much faster rate than we had previously planned.

cynic - 19 Jun 2007 10:02 - 170 of 1076

called this one right by selling at 168 and then buying back at 150 just a few weeks back ...... chart below is now interesting insofar as sp is again challenging the all time high of 168 ...... wilol it break through? ..... reasonable chance is my guess so shall keep holding

er yes!

Fred1new - 20 Jun 2007 13:40 - 172 of 1076

Very nice.

I have to admit to holding and embarrassing mumber of TAN.

It will fit into a SIPP very nicely, but not ISAs.

With the below information I had a look at ENOVA, but for me to complicated to place in SIPP, because of listing and holding of American stock and therefore dealing costs.

I think it has a long way to ride and was looking at ENOVA and possibly a quicker growth than TAN




Enova can be traded as CFDs, but for me it is a bit to complicated.
