Yes, although the buy of 3 mill plus shares is not a big amount in monetary terms it is unusual these days. Someone was willing to pay over the odds for this amount.
Either someone in the know, (doubtful) someone who hopes to be lucky or a fool.
The sp sell will have to move about 15% for any profit.

Email articleComment on this articleStanelco, manufacturer of BioPlast biodegradable resin, has chosen Meachers Group as its logistics provider. The deal was made as part of the companys plan to outsource its distribution from Manchester and Southampton.
Meachers recently expanded Derby depot will manage the flow of goods and services throughout the supply chain including warehousing, order processing and distribution, to customers throughout the UK.
Oast Agencies, Meachers Southampton based freight forwarding arm, will handle the shipment of goods to Stanelcos customers in Europe, the USA and other export areas.
Dave Wetters, sales director, Stanelco, said: "Meachers was chosen because it had the advantage of having its headquarters close to us at Southampton yet could provide us with cost effective warehousing and distribution from its centrally located depot in Derby. The fact that its freight forwarding company, Oast Agencies, can organise shipments of product to Europe and our more distant markets was also a significant advantage.

At the risk of stating the obvious, this must surely mean they have sold something to somebody.
Cannot believe that it is RF sealing based as this sounds more like a consumables proposition.
Wonder what they have sold and to which poor sods?
My first thought was it was to deliver the office equipment they have flogged on E-bay in order to make ends meet, but that would be just too cynical..............

Meachers wraps up deal with Stanelco PLC
Meachers Group has wrapped up a deal with Southampton based Stanelco plc, manufacturers of BioPlast biodegradable resin. Meachers beat off stiff competition to win the contract by demonstrating its ability to offer a seamless turnkey operation through it Southampton and Derby locations.
Appointing Meachers as its logistics provider follows the decision by Stanelco Plc to outsource its distribution from Manchester and Southampton. Meachers' Derby depot will manage the flow of goods and services throughout the supply chain including warehousing, order processing and distribution to customers throughout the UK. In addition, Meachers Southampton based freight forwarding arm, Oast Agencies, will be handling the shipment of goods to Stanelco's customers in Europe, the USA and other export areas.
Stanelco plc and its sister company Biotec GmbH have developed BioPlast, a revolutionary new family of polymer materials that are certified biodegradable and compostable. Developed as a viable alternative to using fossil fuels for polymer based products, Bioplast 2189, for example, is based on PLA - a derivative of cornstarch and other natural sustainable materials. It is designed to produce a rigid film or sheet with an oxygen barrier which may enhance food product life, can be frozen without becoming brittle and is easy to convert at lower temperature, thereby reducing the energy cost of manufacture.
"We needed to find a company that could provide us with a total logistics package", said Dave Wetters, Sales Director of Stanelco plc. "Meachers was chosen because it had the advantage of having its headquarters close to us at Southampton yet could provide us with cost effective warehousing and distribution from its centrally located depot in Derby. The fact that its freight forwarding company, Oast Agencies, can organise shipments of product to Europe and our more distant markets was also a significant advantage."
Last month the Meachers Group expanded its warehousing facilities in Derby by over fifty-percent. The company has purchased an additional warehouse adjacent to its one-acre site at Raynesway, Derby to cater for a substantial increase in demand for storage following the winning of some major new accounts. The new facility brings the total amount of storage managed by the company to around 160,000sq-ft at its two locations in Derby and Southampton.
Commenting, Gary Whittle, Commercial Manager
said: "Manufacturers and distributors are now looking to outsource logistics operations which integrate with their own business strategies. Through ongoing investment in technology and facilities Meachers is able to offer best business practices to its customers' supply chains to provide a seamless outsourced operation".

Does SEO supply BioPlast with BioPlast or have they just nicked their name may be BioPlast has been a round for years, or does SEO buy BioPlast from BioPlast and pretend its SEOs revolutionary new product.
We are a company who manufacture Biodegradable Plastic bags, which are environmentally friendly and non-toxic. The LDP/HDP polymer decays due to the action of enzymes, bacteria, starch & clay when exposed to sunlight and buried in soil such as landfills. The degraded product is compostable, enhancing the nutritive value of the remaining soil. Degradation takes place between 30-90 days once buried. However the product has a shelf life of up to 18 months in packed conditions.

I misread that as "Meachers.....................to offer a seamless turkey.................."

Oh dear.
I had just got the medication down to managable levels, when wallop..........we're off again.
This time I'm going to stick my head up my own ar5e, and read this press release as meaning SEO have earned 30 commission negotiating a UK distrubutor deal on behalf of SPhere.
I may be wrong, but it will save me a mint on valium.

Far too optimistic Alan. This is probably a key test of the new management, as the old firm would and did arrange such links {Premier, Reiser, mondini...} only to have them come to nothing!

Garyble, that's more like it...........a sense of reality creeping in.
Glad to see the sp settling back down to shitty levels.
SNAFU.
Theres more chance of peace in the middle east than this share turning round.
12 more months of nascence, I fear.
I wonder which directors family member works/owns/invests in Meachers.
Or is that just being paranoid.

wow all these posts and share fluctuatin over a few k's of share dealing.
It's amazung that such small purchases/sells can and are havibng such an impact on this share.
Theres still NO NEWS.
familiar story.
Fed on shit and kept in the dark.
PM on his site reckons they've done a deal re FROGMAT, hence the distribution logistics deal.
well, personally until they flog anything but hot air -it's all bollocks and a moneypit.
Live in hope of one day seeing an RNS re an actual sale.

waveydavey,
I also think they must have done some sort of sales deal, but like you I won't believe anything till I see it in black and white. Even then after SEO's past record, I would need confirmation of detail.
Once bitten (well 10 times is more accurate) we should all be twice shy etc.

Whatever they've done, they appear to think it does not warrant an RNS. So perhaps it is simply as they've stated: outsorucing of the transport facility with potential {"jam tomorrow"} to encompass USA etc..
