The main activity of Biofuels is the large scale production and exploitation of biodiesel and glycerine following the construction and commissioning of the initial plant.

Biodiesel is produced from vegetable oils and, as an environmentally friendly product, can make a significant contribution towards reducing green house gases and meeting Kyoto targets.

Thank you stockdog. I was just being lazy - I'd been used to having access to the mam major shareholder's page, but this seems to have been withdrawn from me. Probably, like the live FTSE that I used to enjoy, I was never meant to get it!

Anyway, I have checked back to 01/03 as you suggested and as far as I can see there are no previous GS notifications. I assume that means they were previously under 3% and have now increased their holding. Of course on its own this is a meaningless piece of information - you need the whole picture and how it's changing...

Cheers, Madison

I too have lost access to Mam's more interesting pages on the Company site these last few days. I guess now it's no longer a beta issue where they wanted feed back, it's been restricted to Premium subscribers, not us mere groundlings - you cheap b******d Madison. LOL :)

Anyone know who Toscafield limited are and what they do?

I seems that they invest in mining/oil companies. I found this on the web.

Manganese Bronze Holdings PLC advises that it received notification on 3 March 2005 from Toscafield Limited that it has an interest in 3,795,000 of the Companys ordinary shares, representing 20.06% of the issued share capital.

Manganese Bronze Holdings PLC further advises that it received notification on 2 March 2005 from Morgan Stanley Securities Limited that it has an interest in 1,754,475 of the Companys ordinary shares, representing 9.28% of the issued share capital.



Manganese Bronze Holdings PLC advises that it received notification on 23 August 2004 from Toscafield Limited, that they are the beneficial owner of 3,020,000 ordinary shares of the Company, representing 16.0% of the total number of shares in issue.


I will try to find out more.

Manganese Bronze are nothing to do with mining - they make London black taxi cabs!

Doh!!!!
I quickly looked at it and assumed.

Recaptured all yesterday's losses and more besides...now up 8.86%

What is a B trade?
Is it broker to broker? or block trade?
6669090 shares, buy or sell?
wilbs

Looks like a sell as the trade price was lower than the mid price.

This is a BUY as shrewd fund manager Martin Hughes has increased his Toscafield Fund's stake in BFC to 14.8% via the recent placing. BFC will be profit-generating by the end of year. Likely maiden profit is 14 million.

Thanks for clearing that up hlyeo

B trade is one between two member firms (of the LSE I guess) of which neither is a maket maker or fund manager - whatever that means - I think between two brokers.
helpful?
SD

hlyeo98

Thanks
SD

stockdog,
very helpful thanks. Do you know where on the web I can get info on things like that?
wilbs

on most sites like moneyAM (I think I've seen it here - look on the new Companies button, perhaps) and the one I use Digital Look has a pop-up key you can look at somewhere

thanks stockdog, if I can't find it I will just have to use your knowledge!!
wilbs

Just a general question everyone, whats the normal spread on this one please?

I see It's just over 3% at the mo.
