I dismissed this company as froth when I first looked at it. Since then the sp has doubled and continues to steadily rise. I looked again and when I saw the countries and contracts this firm is in---I was impressed and bought some to tuck away. anyone else bought in or interested?

Harry - did you see post 160 - while you were away I think.

Making inroads after the placing that brought the share price down

Ah, thanks skinny. Sp still looks reluctant to break out of this trading range though. Not sure I am happy buying yet as chart would suggest 26p looms again.
