George Frangeskides, Chairman at ALBA, explains why the Pilbara Lithium option ‘was too good to miss’. Watch the video here.
Very True Ian. I tend use... a lot too. Most messages in fact...often prefer them to proper punctuation.
DHC*** had a very definite style...like signing off with IMO...but I think that was to help him to stick to character. If you have a specific style then it’s easier to remember which “investor” you’re being at any one time.
Off out to enjoy my muppet box.
but at least you're not dwelling on it...
I miss Lef....he was properly certifiable...complete loon. great poster
i can't remember, are you "invested" here, or just a concerned onlooker?
You're posting history reminds me of DHC***, he used to post mostly on here and not be invested...you won't remember him he was banned a few days before you joined
win: you remember correctly.
the concern was that it was announced as Iran on the day it was signed and put on hold..... the day before Trump pulled out of the JCPOA...there was no time to get worried about Iran as it was already all over the news as about to be sanctioned.
it was certainly a more entertaining board than these days....the speculation was pointless, but at least it was trolling or ramping
Like Ian i don't put any value on Iran yet
JIM: "No wonder it has not been RNS'd" - which of those points leads you to that conclusion? and why is it definitely a placing? other forms of finance should be available to them
to me, the fact that management said they weren't going to RNS MOUs anymore is all you need to know......they'll RNS when it's a contract and not before.
BK has 2 airports...but it turns out that i'm not allowed to fly to either
Off out to look into ferries
Tucky: very true, but sadly it works the other way too...overly hyped and overly trolled.....i guess that's why this bb hasn't been fit for purpose for a number of months.
off out to see if BK is on the green list ;-)
they get paid either way
...or they're genuinely miserable ****ers and will remain so either way
off out wait for the contract (i'm rather good at waiting)
MAY 20TH, 2021 NEWS, CONTRACTS
Euro Ops, The Westminster Group’s French subsidiary, has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Ministry of Transport, Urban Mobility and Road Safety in Burkina Faso, West Africa, relating to the provision of advanced airport securing solutions to the country’s international airports.
The MoU was signed at a ceremony in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, on 17 May 2021 by Vincent Timbindi Dabilgou, Minister of Transport and Euro Ops Director, Mr Vincent Toscani.
The MoU sets out the programme under which the Westminster Group will use its vast experience and expertise in the provision of aviation security to assist the Burkina Faso authorities to create a world-class aviation security operation at the country’s international airports in accordance with international regulations and requirements. Westminster will provide the required investment and expertise necessary to deliver install and maintain the latest airport security solutions as well as provide training and management support services under Westminster’s proven long-term aviation security managed services programme.
Commenting on the development Westminster Group CEO, Peter Fowler, said:
“Airports are an important gateway to any country and particularly so for landlocked countries such as Burkina Faso. I am delighted therefore that Westminster has now entered into this important Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Transport to help build, what I am confident will be, world-class airport security operations, so important in today’s world.
“As with all our operations around the world we will endeavour to work with the local communities to bring prosperity and employment and I look forward to a long-term association with the country.”
Earl: i'd argue it's not price sensitive...because it's in the market and hasn't moved the price.
Off out to dodge some showers
i'm not smart enough to figure out how (if at all) profitable this could be....i'd imagine not very. But then we're all here for the airports
off out to enjoy the sunny evening....or cry into my tea if i take this board too seriously
..but WSG has announced some detail on their testing partneship:
Westminster Group announce their partnership with Certific
With Coronavirus continuing to spread around the world, the emphasis on testing and vaccinations to help restart the economy and reduce the risk of importing new variants is growing.
In parallel with vaccines, mass testing is essential to allow people to return to a more normal life and companies to operate properly again. Large scale testing needs to be fast, affordable, and reliable in order to enable businesses to reopen again safely and help life get back to normal.
Certific is a government approved end-to-end service for Coronavirus home testing kits. This service will predominantly be used to allow the public to travel overseas and attend large scale events - utilising a medical certificate to establish the person's COVID status.
The Certific service includes a unique mobile application, providing a digital medical certification, which is recognised and accepted worldwide.
Certific's app verifies users' identities and instructs them on how to correctly perform a Coronavirus test. Individuals order a COVID test online from a UKAS accredited company, CHHP. After downloading the secure Certific app, the user is guided on how to video record themselves taking the test from the comfort of their own home. The test is then shipped to a lab for analysis. Results and a certificate of verification will appear on the app the following day.
Westminster have been working with Certific for several months as business critical partners in the Quality Assurance and implementation of the service, and we are delighted to confirm that they have secured Government contracts to supply all types of international travel packs.
Certific have several packages, including the 'Day 2 & 8 Package', the 'Day-5 Test to Release' package and the 'Fit-to-Fly' package. Each package includes free delivery, full certification for any country, and will give a same-day result if the test arrives in the London lab by 1 pm.
As the world opens up once more and international travel restrictions are slowly relaxed, the demand for these packages will increase and so making mass home testing quick and accessible for all is of utmost importance.
"Westminster are delighted to announce our partnership with Certific in their new initiative. Coronavirus testing is one of the key elements to help prevent the importation of new COVID variants and to allow people to return to social events with the confidence.
"The Certific app and user journey is designed to increase trust in remote testing and ensure that self-performed tests reach the same standard as those carried out in a clinical setting and is a unique service, whereby all tests are visually reviewed to ensure no falsification of test results and that the test has been done accurately.
"We look forward to working alongside Certific as the business grows from strength to strength."
For me (on a very brief skim read) there's not much new there...as was always going to be the case. It does feel like a very nice summary of 2020, can't remember the previous years being quite such an easy to read summary.
we're set up so that 2021 could be an almighty year....but that's been the case every year that i've been invested (since 2012).
anyway, nothing of concern for me so the waiting can continue.
Off out to expect us to close as we did last night.
Aiming: Been enjoying a pre-results beer or 6?
Not much of a distance ;-)
go on, be honest, if results were stellar tomorrow will you be a bit annoyed? (i'm not convinced there will be much there to get the shares going...it's all about new MSCs).
Off out to worry that this BB will be unbearable tomorrow...which ever way it falls.
is there Aiming? you don't seem to have moved on after selling up
Last - it actually happened in December 17 too...and May 16....but i take your point
You're bitter?
off out to be shocked by other unforeseen revelations
Hi Aiming. You probably should have learnt from the Tema chat then....since it happened months before you bought in at 6p
Off out to do better things with my time.
I've always struggled to understand why WSG "should have done so well" in the pandemic? the main income is from ports and airports....the latter basically all closed.
the tech sales were always far more geared towards security than fever scanning and PPE
off out for a well earned beer
