C21 Needs a decent endorsment now following the loss of Arriva. still watching but can't see any rush here for entry.
of movement...........
Time for good news then! Pleased they are working to replace lost contracts - would have been interested to know why Arriva didn't renew their contract. It doesn't make sense after all the work that has been put in over the years. Contract retention should be number one priority. Lets hope for more good news and then some price increase for C21. GL
But they said in their last update that they were not relying on any revenue at all from Go-ahead, so it was therefore reasonable to assume that the contract would not be renewed. That explains the huge fall to about 5p. The question is whether the SP fall was overdone, and whether they can win new contracts from here?
Was going to invest here but multiple resignations made me dig deeper. Only 3 main customers - one major customer [Arriva/First bus?] spent £2.2m in H1 but will only spend £0.7m in H2 [whole year 2012 spent £3.7m] and Go-Ahead 4 year contract was due to expire Aug 2013 - there has been no comment by C21 about this yet so I contacted both companies. NO they have not renewed and ........the contract has gone to a competitor. There may be wins from France and Germany but these are big blows - Caveat Emptor. I shall wait and watch this one out
big trade........
Second thought - watch at arms length. Thanks
Second thought - watch at arms length.
Had C21 on the watchlist for a long time, thought about entry around 14p. Still has potential and could recover well in a year or so.
21st Century Technology plc the supplier and installation service provider of public transport CCTV and vehicle monitoring systems, announces that Mark Elliott, currently Acting Finance Director of the Company, has agreed to act as Executive Chairman to work closely alongside the Company's Chief Executive whilst a new Chief Executive is sought. Jan Holmstrom, the former Non-Executive Chairman, is to leave the Board with immediate effect. In addition to actively seeking a Chief Executive Officer, as outlined in the Company's announcement of 19 August 2013, the Company intends to strengthen the Board through the appointment, in due course, of a new Finance Director and a further Non-Executive Director. Once these appointments have been made, Mark Elliott will revert to the role of Non-Executive Chairman. Mark Elliott, Executive Chairman of the Company, commented that: "The Board is seeking to ensure that the board of directors is structured to fit the Company's strategy, including providing valuable executive support to our current Chief Executive and to meet best practice in corporate governance as soon as practicable. "It is with regret that Jan has informed the Board that he is not able to commit sufficient time to an executive role in view of his other engagements. Accordingly, he has resigned with our gratitude for his contribution during the past three years. During this time, the Company has established itself as a leading supplier of CCTV to the transportation market, realised its freehold property and subsequently made a significant capital repayment to shareholders, and instigated a dividend policy. I wish him all the best with his future ventures. We are currently working hard to appoint new Board members with strategic and operational experience to further strengthen the Board and look forward to announcing those in due course."
Looks like it's not the best year for Jan Holmstrom who's also Chairman of Densitron Technologies which makes information display systems. They sunk to a loss in the first half and cut its dividend in half. I sometimes wonder if these Guys take on too much !

Mr Cumming currently utilises his commercial experience in supporting growth companies in non-executive roles and is a fellow of the Chartered Institute of Securities & Investment. In addition to this position with 21st Century, James Stuart Cumming, aged 62, is currently a non-executive director of CareTech Holdings plc.

21st Century Technology announces that Wilson Jennings has notified the Board of his intention to step down from his position as Chief Executive Officer and as a director of the Company. The Board has commenced the process of finding a suitable successor and looks forward to making a further announcement in due course. Meanwhile, the Company is pleased that Mr Jennings is willing to continue as Chief Executive Officer and as a director for a period of up to 12 months, being Mr Jennings' contractual notice period. Jan Holmstrom, chairman of the Company, commented that: "We are grateful to Wilson for his hard work and valuable contribution, as both CFO and CEO of the Company, over many years. We remain confident in the Company's skills and employees, and our ability to provide our customers with first-rate products and services. We continue to pursue a number of exciting business leads and look forward to providing further updates in due course."
Ticking up nicely from a very low point, someone can see the potential of C21's products - perhaps a competitor?? I wouldn't want C21 to be sold cheap, they have worked hard to develop the business and pay good dividends last year. Good luck to holders and buyers!
When one door closes another one opens as they say, we just have to trust the management to find it, and with a bit of luck we may get more than 1door and will come through it bigger and stronger ! Gla
I had a 30000 top up and that did show as a buy. They are now in my buy and don't look drawer for a few months. However looking back ( can be dangerous with shares!) my other c21 shares have not cost much at all. I have had 5k plus back in divi's etc in the last 12 months. so no real complaints. Just disappointments that it wasn't on and up. Good luck Gaddes - we both need it - only time will tell if we should be in the Aim mad house!! Lets hope the management can work hard to encourage good business in the coming months and pay another divi as well.
My new 40112 buy is showing as a sell ! I wonder how many more are ?
No suprise here Langyy. Always someone in the know buying before good news, and that didn't happen here.
Twice the buys to sells showing so although a set back rns there is still confidence !!!
the big sells recently?.....
Well I called that one wrong then!! Loss of credibility for both C21 and myself. Shame really as I think the products are good and should be widely used, giving investors a return. Back to the drawing board! A long haul back for C21 - try harder next time please . Fingers crossed for future successes. DEBs1
Judging by the trades, mostly small Investors trading so far. Quite a drop, but could we see a rise through the day?
As suspected with limited recent news, not a tasty Report___http://www.investegate.co.uk/21st-century-tech--c21-/rns/half-yearly-report/201308080700172204L/
Nice little cameo of the 9 cameras on each of the new route master buses on top gear the other night.
