Oh dear - 2 years ago tipped by Shares Mag at 11p - now after PG's involvement (investing in fallen Co's), it's below 6p - that's under half in anyone's money ( spread/costs).
And, I read no good news for shareholders -
Yuk!

So despite the jaunty title of this Thread - the name-change has made no difference.
It was a dull-prospect - - - - - and remains so..... Oh dear.

[EDIT 28.Feb.2008 - about 5, - 5.5 p, ! . . . some News, Plee-e-ease.]

I asked for some news . . . .but NOT this!
Significant excitement ( Up to abt. 5p ), as PG buys more of this dull stock - now holding abt. 18%

Are we looking at an opportune privatisation?

Oh dear.

Good results, if the sp %-rise is any indicator(4.5/5.5pence).
-However, their admin costs are quite high - nearly half the Turnover (DYOR), so I'm not too impressed...also although the sp is up lots (%). it's still way down and despite the good turnover (they say), there is no hint of a dividend...
Furthermore attempting a sale of the Mitcham site is bonkers - Land is almost worthless (currently) and this is a decent site for vehicle installations etc. Unless they have an expensive Mortgage on it, I'd be happier if they kept it; at least until someone makes them an offer they can't refuse....Today's property market is dire. ... don't sell cheap!
