Topped the share charts on Friday following a lucrative contract announcement and is rumoured to have several more contracts in the pipeline.

I have received a response from Alex Brummer, the City Editor of the Daily Mail regarding the email I sent about Geoff Foster's comments. If I said the response from Brummer was both arrogant and patronising it would be an understatement.

Send it to me via my moneyam address .... I'll wind the feckers up :-)


Serious doodles the share price is what 8p ??? Two weeks ago it was about 5p , you got to expect a pull back up to say 66% given the speed of the rise.

Breith said he would get it to 10p and he has. Him and company look well run imo and well regarded ... unlike Foster who has been a standing joke with his peers and investors alike for years.

He gets fed sh*te on purpose but often doesn't realise .... harmless guy imo but thick as shit.


Disclaimer : me or anyone I know have never fed any idiot financial journalist living or dead any information that we/they thought might be true in cloud cuckoo land only.

Hi Geoff :-)

He used to ramp Calluna and Bioprogress/Meldex if I remember right ... says it all.

lol Dil! Brummer sounded like a football manager whose star player had just been given a red card for a badly timed tackle:-)

What is the point in having a Code of Practice for financial journalists if it's not enforced. The problem is some journalists think they are above the law.

Oops! 138,333,333 new ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") at 6 pence per share,

so they have just paid £10m for a loss making company, with a turnover of £10m.

I hope Dave Breith knows something we don't!

3.4m read the RNS. Anyway, the shares are still going to plummet on Monday. I don't like the fact he needs all this extra working cap, suggests the TU will not be as good as many thought. Losses, acquiring more losses, extra staff and premises. Whilst the expected large contracts like the Mitie one last yr are not materializing. Oh dear.

doodle the Daily Mail seems to have got it right 6p it is.

Well I'm happy he's growing the company into something bigger and given his track record I'm sure he knows what he's doing.

Bit peed off that we couldn't buy some at 6p.

transfer yr dosh to qpp dil.,.

lol , happy to hold both

The "rumour" published by Geoff Foster on Tuesday morning was indeed correct. It just goes to show what an advantage these financial journalists and City jobsworths have over the rest of us. As a shareholder I'm glad about the timing of the RNS, if that had been released this morning then the herd mentality would have been diving off the cliff again, at least people have the opportunity over the weekend to read the announcement thoroughly before jumping into silly decisions.

I haven't read this announcement properly yet myself halifax, so I don't know anything about the company involved without doing some reading!

doodle yes the RNS gives some numbers what shareholders really want to know is when will this quite significant acquisition pay off.

Lost about 700k but have made improvements and Breith see's about £3 million of synergies. Looks a bargain to me if the synergies are realised.

Dil agree but as always the proof of the pudding etc

Yep that's the fun of the markets halifax ... pays yer pound and takes yer chance.

I'm sure David Breith knows lots of things we don't. There is a very strong smell emanating from the various goings-on this week! Geoff Foster certainly knew something as early as Monday afternoon that we didn't - until the markets were closed today.
