Was that aimed at me Alt?
Regarding the hanger I think they were more worried about earlier snaps of the old facility they placed on line showing just one unit and an empty space it got a lot of negative spin .
It’s only when I found those images on line showing the completion of the refurbishment they seemed to later publicise it but only really mentioned office space
Looking back it was clearly an empty warehouse space excluding the very nice fitted out office spaces and just being used for office space at that time .
I was keeping tabs on that all year and found nothing new .
Alt-muddle
In your previous history you claimed to have a trading account .....not such a problem for the well informed ...just good economics ......no concerns from me about that .
It can’t be just that BB not for a brand new facility anyone would have wanted to show that off
I just think the warehouse was not fitted with anything and they wanted to keep that under wraps
I agree the PR is so so poor I have complained on this this week It’s like they want investors to walk away or be shaken from given up share shares
It’s easily sorted but why it’s not a priority is beyond me
Alt, your post is blatantly untrue and shows you to be single minded, arrogant and suffering from a selective memory.
Changing names whenever you throw your toys from the rather than taking a breath and accepting this is a public BB where control is in the hands of the moderators shows a lack of a grasp on reality.
I’m not a trader and my posting history will show that my purchase and selling of the company was due to large volume traders manipulating the price exacerbated by the poor comms from the company and dislike of the self congratulatory manner shares were allocated to the BOD. I have never criticised the tech the ethos or the aims of the company. But as a public listed company, there is an expectation of progress and to keep those invested abreast of that progress. Be it positive or negative.
Alt filtered, the first ever.
Well they are still increasing staff I’ll have a look and update the list to show recent further uptake in staff at the company over the last couple of months
Most recent employment opportunity below
Check out this job at AFC Energy plc: Marine Engineer

Hopefully the silence will end soon.
And all the current BS ends.
Still positive but a little concerned.
All views welcome.
No axe to grind.
Thought you’d reply even though you said you wouldn’t. I sold after the drop, not a trader trait.
Do svidaniya
Seg, he was implying I was bad mouthing the company after selling to buy back in cheaper.
He and maybe a few others have forgotten but the reason I was trying to get shareholders organised was because of the poor comms and poor performance.
They seem to forget now we’ve gone from 4p to 40p via 90p
Seg, People tend not to be such arrogant, argumentative ****s face to face.
Alt,
Nothing happened between AFC and Iain Thompson, as per his blog it was his decision, a 'lifelong dream' that he realised after a push from Ollie Holloway, not AFC.
Whilst its taken a few weeks to set the business up, this is the realisation of a lifelong dream and I’d like to take the opportunity to thank a number of people that have helped me to get to this point. These include:
Jeremy Hague at Cloud Accountancy, handling all of our finance back-end with the minimum of fuss;
Asgoo Pirbhai and the team at Reach Marketing, delivering their usual swift and quality job on my initial marketing; and
Ollie Holloway at Seven Coaching, giving me the push that I needed to go it alone.
This years AGM .......WOW .....it will be ........Hallo mate how u doin '.......promise all top posters will be there ?
Klunk, “first rule about AGM club, we don’t talk about AGM club”
;-)
Not earnt my stripes yet ....hoping to make the 2nd reserves list ....just behind DW .... ;)
12 years actually .....but i am not keeping tabs .... ;-)
A mere novice compared to some holders ....without doubt this is the most exciting time to be involved with AFC ....just need AB to prove it ......
“If I was to speculate, and that is all it is, it was decided sometime back that the best way forward was developing the HFC and solid cell. That would involve little publicity whilst they were working on it”
Ok, so what you’re saying is that from roughly September when Iain would have handed his notice in, and ‘50 qualified leads’ and ‘multiple orders’ were being talked about they knew none of it was going to be delivered? Sounds about right Alt, ver Adam Bond that.
Bondy, are you saying that you have made the wrong decision to buy AFC shares?
Are you no longer backing your decision?
Cheeky boy, no, I’m not saying that. I think this company is sitting on Novel technology which if the company was under the right leadership could be doing much better. I’m for the technology and the theory, I’m against the deliverer.
Bondy, so you’re staying invested in AFC yet you dislike the CEO and post countless negativity with some posts taking a minute or longer to read ( big effort ) and are willing to hold ?
Trying to work out who Bondy was previously. The same writing style of starting a post with a paragraph from an earlier poster in inverted commas before trying to counter the claims in an often desperate way, twisting the actual facts was used regularly by one former dereamper.......was it Bmac?
They are all from the same school.
Bondy123 - I walked away from this board yesterday and quite frankly couldn’t be bothered to read the chaff.
What is striking though is that you seem to have an inordinate amount of spare time to berate the CEO and even your user name which has appeared all of a sudden, appears to suggest that you are hell bent on dragging down confidence in the CEO. I hope the FCA are monitoring your activities. Yes, you have every right to voice your opinion. To take over a board however shows your intent to destabilise genuine investors. You would have had more respect if you had posted one or 2 with your viewpoint. Now you are suggesting the CEO will squander £60m and thus attempt again to turn investors. This is a totally baseless comment and, as you know the CEO is one member of a much larger BoD. You seem to have missed that Bond was on LinkedIn yesterday saying that AFC are currently recruiting marine engineers. This further validates that the company is expanding and focused on their key business areas - EV charging, Data Centres, diesel genset replacement, maritime and rail transportation, drone airports.
Whilst we would ALL like to see better comms out of AFC (namely via a better website and updated blog), there is ABSOLUTELY NO EVIDENCE of funds being squandered or that the company is not heading in a positive commercial direction - otherwise our partners ABB, Extreme E, Acciona, Mace, Juelich, DeNora would have walked away months ago.
For me, this is the end of the discussion around the CEO’s position.
DW, you are now regularly using phrases like "Nobody believes that....", or "Everybody thinks that....". Can I just put my hand up and say I'm sorry but you don't speak for me so please tone it down a bit.
"AB credibility noone has to underpin anymore, it is simply gone, look at the shareprice and interest in AFC shares after fantastic news, no one, I mean no ONE believes AB anymore if he announces and kind of tomorrow jam.... There is nothing in his reputation towards the investment community which you can destroy, he did this perfectly himself. What a clown"
SPOT ON!!!
