"Biotec" is being visited by a range of celebrities, including the Walmart board of directors "These guys would not travel 1/3 the way round the world to get a freeby carrier bag full of biodegradable golf tees !!!!!

Sick of false hopes and sky high expectationa coupled with zero sales.
Will wait and see what end of month brings re BIOTEC output
will it increase /begin production of a large scale as hyped over past few weeks?
as of yet still -JAM TOMORROW.
Refusing to get my hopes up.
though the sp is a bargain- i think i'd have a date with a shallow grave if the missus found out i'd brought anymore of these damned shares.
Filed for LONG term and happy to sit and wait to see whether this company goes BLUE SKY or slips at the last.
the only consolation is that with an sp of .05p there is'nt far to fall. ANYMORE.

Can anyone enlighted me as to how long the Stanelco site has been "under review"? They cant even get the web-site right. If you look at the home site logo in the top left had corner you will find its mis-aligned.
They should be called "Stan Laurel And Co"
I'm still hoping this chronic outfit can produce a positive result for us PI's. why oh why...

Hi Lankn,
Not sure how long, but well over 12 months.
And presumably they expect potential customers to look at Stanelco as a professionally run company.
It is said that in todays technological world a businesses web site is a window to the world. Stanelco's window has been half shut for far too long.
If only in the past the management had been of the same quality as the products! as I strongly believe that with a professional, management several of the products in the SEO portfolio would have taken off long ago.
A good salesman has a better chance of selling even a mediocre product than a poor salesman has of selling a good product.
In a nutshell, good products, wrong company.
Whilst I was very willing to give the present management time to turn things round, and appreciating some areas need more time, surely details such as the Web Site should have been revamped from it's mickey mouse stage by now.
Pathetic.

I agree. Websites provide a really accurate picture of how a company views itself (and where it is going). The Stanelco website is an old-fashioned "brochure" website, not updated regularly, promoting no sense of vision ... which means the PIs are in for a long, uninspiring ride (probably downwards).

On the product page, the Biodegradable airbags link have had the message being updated for over 18 months.
More recent (several weeks) the Frogwrap link is showing no longer available.
Will this be another 18 months plus.
Also why have the shareholders not been told why re Frogwrap, or have I missed it.

I think that the website is the most worrying part of this; it quite plainly states "this is a shambolic company, would you want to do business with us?". I cannot understand why they would start to make alterations, which when I saw them gave me hope that they were getting their act together, then halfway through they just abandon it. Maybe they have all gone away, after all, the Water Soluble Embroidery Film part has the word 'depart' emblazoned across it!

They're busy spending our 11 million quid - how can you expect them to have time to build a decent website!

Appreciating that market volume across the board has been low (waiting the interest rate decision tomorrow) but even allowing for this, today must be the lowest volume of Stanelco shares dealt for many a year.
In fact the few buys that came in were on the back of the offer price being lowered.
Looks like punters are sitting on their holdings, just biding time.
Cant see much changing now till firm news either way.

But the management have stated the following on their web site regarding the switch.
This fixing of the switch is currently under review. Please be patient with us while we decide if we are going to repair it or not.
We are going to arrange an EGM, prior to either a placing or offer as we need to raise about 50 for an electrician.
At the present rate of share price depreciation, another 5,000,000 shares will be required to raise the full amount.
We have already approached three city banks who have looked at our equity rating,(Standard and Poor's) which is minus AAAAAAA, and rejected our offer of 50% of the company as collateral.
On approaching a Private Equity group re a buy out, they said they would get back to us after they stopped laughing.
SORRY but just could not resist.

lankn73 like it, "Stan Laurel And Co" excellent.
But seriously heard a rumour that the SEO machine has gone into marketing overdrive. Apparently they are not just selling golf tees any longer. As true opportunists all marketing efforts and resource are now being targeted towards commercialising "floatable golf tees" which is now a masive massive market given most of the country's courses are under 6 feet of water.

Correction; That means nothing at all. Empty, vacuous and meaningless.
Whether there has been any progress depends on your view of nascent.
