Last one - Geoff Foster's pick for 2014 is Regenersis

i agree that this looks a very interesting company, which could turn the current industry with its wooden pallets on its head
however, surely one of the banes of the pallet industry is keeping track of the damn things and getting them back at the end of the lease, so life may not be quite as simple as first appears

The Telegraph's share tip for 2014

Tech sector tipped for even bigger things in 2014

Burberry and Sainsbury’s in spotlight as possible takeover targets for next year
Investment bank UBS chooses its top picks for takeovers in 2014
Burberry

Burberry is seen as one of the likely candidates
By Ashley Armstrong8:30PM GMT 29 Dec 2013Comments

Top British companies such as Burberry, J Sainsbury and Chemring have been tipped as takeover targets next year by investment bank UBS.
British companies feature prominently on the UBS analysts’ list. Of the 27 European companies the bank identifies, 13 are British.

Burberry has been subject to takeover speculation since the departure of chief executive Angela Ahrendts was announced, wiping nearly £536m off the company’s value in October. Luxury goods conglomerate LVMH has been tipped previously as a likely suitor, as it could add Burberry’s fashion ranges to its roster of brands.
Sainsbury’s has reclaimed its spot as the UK’s second-biggest grocery retailer, but that hasn’t prevented it from being added to the list of takeover targets. The Qatari investment fund that already owns a 26pc share has repeatedly been tipped to make a return offer after abandoning a £10.6bn bid in 2007.

Meanwhile, UBS thinks 2014 might also be the year for British defence and aerospace equipment maker Chemring. US private equity group Carlyle walked away from takeover plans in November 2012, leaving investors to label the defence company “a mess”.

Despite a boost from the $130bn (£83.6bn) sale of Vodafone’s Verizon Wireless stake, deals involving UK companies fell by 6pc in 2013 compared to the previous year, according to Thomson Reuters data.
“Announced levels of activity have continued to be modest, even into the fourth quarter,” Jonathan Rowley, head of M&A for Europe, Middle East and Africa at UBS, told The Daily Telegraph.
“But there are signs of a strengthening market as companies are having more real corporate boardroom discussions focusing on executing deals, rather than being at an ideas stage.”

UBS analysts included Virgin Media in their watch list last year and three months later the telecoms company fell prey to a £15.5bn takeover by US cable giant Liberty Global. Chemicals company Croda, publishing group Informa, engineering firm MAN and postal firm TNT Express have been included on this year’s list after no successful deals materialised last year.

“The TMT (telecoms, media and technology) sector has been very active this past year and will continue to be so, while the financial sector has been quiet for M&A and is likely to remain so while banks improve their financial position.
“The industrial sector has been disproportionately quiet and that’s an area that may see a pick-up in activity levels,” Mr Rowley added.

Revived speculation around fund manager Man Group is echoed by its inclusion in the watch list. Go-Ahead Group, British recruiting firm SThree, Thomson holiday owner TUI Travel and precision engineering firm Renishaw also make UBS’s M&A watch list.

• Chemicals company Croda
• Train and rail firm Go-Ahead Group
• Chemicals firm Johnson Matthey
• Fund manager Man Group

IMAGINATION TECHNOLOGIES

Being an Imagination Technologies shareholder has not been for the faint-hearted in a rollercoaster year. But those with the guts to stick with one of Britain’s few global hi-tech forces and see past the ups and downs of quarterly results should enjoy big rewards.

Its fortunes are linked to the growth in smartphones and tablet computing thanks to its leading position designing graphics microchips. The mobile revolution still has a long way to go as it penetrates all aspects of our social and business lives; the number of smartphones worldwide is expected to overtake the number of computers in the first quarter of next year.

Despite competitive pressures and a fast-changing market, it will be hard for it not to increase revenues rapidly in 2014 and beyond.

The price will start from a low base in the new year, below 200p. At its peak in 2012 it was above 700p. The shares are cheap and represent a big opportunity for patient and courageous investors who understand that the type of innovation the company feeds off can’t be usefully measured every three months.
