Stokey, thanks for posting nice to see harl pick up some awards
Stokey. From the LinkedIn posts of the last two years, more effort has been put into award winning than contract winning. Only the latter pays the bills! As for 5%, I asked the question back in December and was contacted by shareholders with collectively, over 10%...all disgruntled back then.
Lottie123 ref 17.20 post So we could get a motion on the agenda but do we have suitable replacements as if you put the motion up and pass we want to make sure that four or five years later we are not in the same place. If I can lay devil's advocate for a moment. Why are we talking about replacing JW and/or AR is it the strategy or the execution of the strategy. We need clarity on that. I agree that the communication with shareholders is not good and needs to be improved. I also believe that execution of the strategy may not have always been optimal but I am of the view that removing JW and/or AR may not be wise at this stage. I would suggest waiting to see what the annual report and accounts says and if there is no comprehensive trading update at the same time revisit the issue.
As someone accused of negativity (I would argue reality) I feel positively moderate! With a large contract due, a finance deal thatโs taken nearly a year and a half thus far and an important court judgementโฆ.. You want to create shareholder unrest issues to change the two guys at the top?
Iโm no fan of either but give your heads a wobble, thereโs a time and a place. You think this will help the share price? Ha ha
Have to agree with Broomtree (for once), changing CFO or CEO right now would be a terrible idea.
It could completely derail or best case delay the finance deal even more.
Once the news is out that we're waiting on people will stop being frustrated and these comments about changing the BOD will disappear.
But as shareholders we absolutely must push for better updates. This is unacceptable and has been mentioned many times on here. Last trading update was September... 8 months ago. What has happened since then? Are we only getting updates in June and September with the annual and half year accounts going forward? I like to think JW is holding off on one until finance is sorted, and that finance is taking longer than he expected. But who knows.
Xenor ( as usual ) has failed to understand the underlying reason for Broomtrees post. He was non supporting keeping the BOD in place , but simply trying to accentuate the shareholder dissatisfaction. As they say, with Friends like Xenor, who needs enemies. PS. Xenor, which Poly did you go to.
Xenor. A CFO, is not difficult to replace. Why be concerned? What has he done in 5 years of big money pay? I also suggested a large pay cut c20% to reflect poor performance. Surely pay should be linked to performance. With over 50% of coastal fabrication and four big refurbished yards (Belfast still on going) yet we are hoping that we might get to ยฃ200m revenues this fiscal. I would like to point out that this shipbuilder has still not built a ship...not even a trawler or rowing boat with an outborad...nothing self propelled. Barges don't count. Let's not forget the Saipem disaster. All in all. The bounty of promises I have heard over 4.5% years seem to disappear into the ether. Missed targets of revenues and spending with little or no real revenue impact.
