So says the 30% shareholder of Dignity. This is all I need to be reassured of! And if anyone can achieve this it will be Gary Channon of Pheonix......experienced professionals at dong precisely that!!! I am amazed there is so little debate on this site, common sense is enough to realise that this share has huge potential if led by new management who know what they are doing.
My fellow shareholders, you have an incredible opportunity to effect change in this company, by voting with Pheonix ( a 30% shareholder) to oust the current directors, so that the highly competent Gary Channon can change the whole direction of the company and turn it once again into profit to the benefit of us all! I believe his nomination will be transformative for the company and for the future share price! This share ought to be worth £10.00 at least!!

I would suggest that the departure of the over paid "fat cat" directors of Dignity should be as swift as it is expedient! Vote for Gary Channon as soon as you get the ballot paper. We the share holders very much want the "great value of this company to be unlocked" NOW!!!
I think the last word should go to the superb Pheonix company: " Based on our understanding of the business resulting from our involvement with Dignity, we believe that although the Company faces many significant challenges as the funeral industry changes, there is great value to be unlocked if the right course is pursued in an expedient manner."

Let the superb Pheonix company must have the last word: " Based on our understanding of the business resulting from our involvement with Dignity, we believe that although the Company faces many significant challenges as the funeral industry changes, there is great value to be unlocked if the right course is pursued in an expedient manner."
"Dignity said the behaviour of Phoenix "has led all three of the independent directors to form the view that Phoenix is not acting in the best interests of shareholders as a whole, but is instead driven primarily by its own self-interest". What a joke! Talk about pot calling the kettle black!! Pheonix is an absolutely a superbly run company.......which is more than can be said of the lack lustre performance of Dignity. This share is a STRONG BUY if and only IF we the shareholders elect Gary Channon as chief
lets get these egomaniacs (whiley et al) out of the company....FAST!

What we the shareholders want is that "best value be unlocked" for US!!! And if Gary Channon of Pheonix with all their superior expertise will do that, then he gets MY vote!!! Looking back on this companies past history, it seems that only the Directors have been the main beneficiaries of the companies success.......and they all bailed out right at the t0p of the market!! Surely that speaks fathoms about their deep concern for the good of the company and us shareholders. They have all delighted us with their presence on the board enough!! Its time for new brooms to sweep clean.!
"Phoenix and Gary have a 23 year record of conducting business with integrity and transparency. We have an open and honest way of communicating with investors and Dignity shareholders can expect the same. Following his appointment, Gary intends to write a report to shareholders with an honest appraisal of what he has found and to explain the strategies being pursued.
Based on our understanding of the business resulting from our involvement with Dignity, we believe that although the Company faces many significant challenges as the funeral industry changes, there is great value to be unlocked if the right course is pursued in an expedient manner."
Tax avoidance!
Tax avoidance!
What next will they think of?
Maybe they are banking their money in the coffins!
They should use cheques.
More finacial wizardry... operating loss not really covered in the board comments?
Sure the large shareholder looks to take executive control when the bsiness is doing fine, it the last thing Pheonix want.
Dignity should be a very solid defensive stock going forward....and as we come out of the Covid restrictions and the economy picks up, for sure profit margins will rise!
I always think that the only thing I need to know ultimately about an investment company is can it survive when times get tough? Dignity has certainly proved that in the last 12 months.......what it needs to do next is to up its game, building it revenue and improving its image as a first class provider of high quality. Perhaps it needs to advertise more and sell itself as a company that offers something extra , over and above the competition! It needs to move from being just a run of the mill ordinary company to an extraordinary one! Then I think we will see £10 + in the next year or two!
The situation is exactly as I expected....Pheonix are going to intervene. This company has at its head a strong team of hard nosed professionals who are experts in turning businesses around. The days of Dignity being a nice cosy gravy train run in the same tired old ways is coming to an end! Pheonix will bring new ideas and some uncomfortable but much needed challenge to the company. Huge potential here!!!
Expect good results. Phoenix with there substantial 30% now starting to apply the pressure. They bought in for the turnaround. Covid has given a substantial boost to revenue in both funerals and crematoria fees. Internal costs and procurement being brought under control, many of the original team who were complacent with the gravy train now departed.
Tick tock tick tock!
Tick......tock!
Lets hope they show improvement......and that Pheonix,[ the 30% share holder] gets the upper hand and takes a more active control of the company....for therein lies a guarantee of future success!
Its interesting that hardly anyone is showing an interest in this stock right now! I often take that as a BUY signal!!! A share that does not attract attention to itself! However, very quietly this share has moved up from 515p [ my buying price ] to 5.71p this week.......and I am confident it will see £6.00+ before results are announced. There are signs that major share holders are growing impatient with this company.....once again this could be a good sign going forward. This company will not be allowed to fail! Pheonix, I believe paid £6.75 for this share....so a return to that price at least, cannot be far away.

"Gary’s investment approach at Phoenix is long-term, value-based and focused. He looks out for businesses run by competent, honest managers, who act in the interest of shareholders. Ideal companies have strong pricing power to generate an enduring high return on capital. Gary identifies great companies with good management, and waits for the opportunity to invest in them at attractive prices."

I think that Chief Executive Clive Whiley, has delighted us with his presence long enough..........he has had his snout in the trough......and gorged himself with swill......now it is time for the abattoir!
gary channon and his phoenix colleagues are gem stones
