Crawshaw Group Share Price (CRAW)

I definitely agree, that going back a couple of years - the market value went way ahead of events and a correction was a cert - if the company had any sense they would have raised funds while the share price was in double figures - they left it far too late - a real shame..

KNIGELK, I agree, there is always space on the high-street....but for an independent, good quality family type butchers. Crawshaw's in my opinion (although limited), seemed more of a commercial enterprise - thus would be competing with your supermarket grade meat! I made mentioned a long time ago that it had 40 shops or so, made a mere ONE million profit, but had a market cap of a staggering 70 million plus...MADNESS! It was all based on their ideal to roll out 200 plus stores...it was all hot air. I am sure the shop-staff will find employment elsewhere during the festive period.

Maybe let them go into administration & put a bid in for the job lot. Kick out any thought of Halal shy te etc.

Maybe a collective of us could club together and put something up. We could get it for a song from the administrators.

Thoughts, anyone?

I can't help but wonder if 2 Sister's involvement has anything to do with Crawshaw's demise.

When you consider the bad press the 2 Sister's factory got not too long ago.

Just a thought

That's not fair really - the company has been around for a while and was doing ok until recently - also the share price soared a while back ... then started dropping and obviously did not recover. It's shocking how quickly the situation went down hill and I still think there's a place in the market for a decent butchers on the high street - we have two near us in Chipping Sodbury - supermarket meat is not always that great. I hope the staff find alternative employment soon - not great news all round
