Member Info for Boyzone

Coffee Watch the ship seems to be without a good captain to steer it, fine reporting how people have left the business but obviously not all for the better, I still would like an answer on them reporting upturn in bringing in new public sites but where is all this additional revenue going, I seem to remember reference to this same story tail end of last year and they have used how technology will take them forward but yet we still see poor results. I have supported this company and people all along and have a good investment but I am now finding it difficult to believe it has a future!!!!

My belief is that it is the PLC accounts that are part of the problem, as they still trade as 4 companies it should be made clear which one of them is pulling the group down and decisions made as to what to do with it. They need to review their debt collection on the vending side and look at why with decreased overheads and plenty of large account wins they are still not showing revenue increases, surely the board has to be questioned again, they used Mr James as a reason and he took some at times unfair abuse and also much critism of Sproston but my contacts tell me service delivery and staff moral is at an all time low since the changes and no real strategy plan is in place Questions need asking and honest answers given. What are the Russians doing??

No news Wastebasket and its the 1st of March today what do you think will there be something this week?

Hi guys!! I'm afford I can't help with any info it seems very quiet, Jimbo the only way they won't need more funding at a later date is if they start to generate revenue, you can only cut costs and invest for so long but there comes a time that money needs to be made and thats the big If, hopefully they will and I have everything crossed as like you I have substantial investment. Do they actually need a CEO just put an MD in over vending for now and have it under the Russian CEO as their reporting line, this was working before Stones appointment, why put all that cost of a CEO in for them to walk away in less than a year. They need to really look at the finance team as always this is the entire weakness in the company, I believe a couple of the team are leaving this is time to revisit the London and BB set up.

Well all quiet I haven't heard any updates only a couple of comments from suppliers that payment plans are still in place , has anyone else any news, surely they must have to be giving a shares update

Coffee watch my understanding is there is a time but I'm not sure what it is, but the longer it takes the more concerned you become, I hear that the sales force have left of their own accord, the City Manager I think was asked to leave and has been replaced. As you are aware I am backing this company all the way and choosing to leave my investment in however I question as you do why so much top tier management CEO, Head of Commercial, Head of Sales and the New addition of a Sales Manager for Drinkmaster alongside funding 2 FD's but the ground people are being trimmed out surely this will affect service and retention of contracts, however they do seem to be managing to secure some really good new deals which should help build the revenue streams, all seems to have gone quiet in SITB and Drinkmaster. I will keep my ear to the ground. Maybe Cook can enlighten us all to when they will re-list

Surely they are due an AGM shortly, I think they held it in November last year maybe if you are investors this is the forum to ask your questions directly to the board

Coffeewatch, KnigelK I am not an employee and never have been I just do some business and I am close to people in the know as well as holding some shares, I am not one sided in my opinion I just make a call from the facts I am presented with. I stand by everything I have posted and believe this company can turn round in time, I think the spike being referred to was when the rumour was posted that Nabisco was making a counter bid against Boris pushing the shares up. They have had a tough time and have more to come, I believe they have made errors in the structure and some people but don't we all in business but at least everyone I know involved is putting in a 100% effort, I think they need to restructure again and look at the capabilities of one or two of the newly appointed team and that isn't a slant on them personally it is purely down to are they experienced enough yet and ready to take the responsibility maybe more mentoring from outside the board and CEO is needed to leave them to concentrate on the revenue and profit of the business whilst nuturing the future team to take them forward. It won't help moral if they keep reading adverse comments and slandering of individuals in the business in public chat. I always try to focus on the positives and not the negatives and you can always find a way forward. I wish Snacktime all the luck and as I keep saying I believe in them.

Jimbo ,word on the street is it is purely down to changes in staff and structure and genuine waiting for the audited accounts to be cleared, I think we all know they have struggled with cash flow but they will come out of it, the mess they were in will take a few years to get through they are 3 years in ,I predict it will be at least another 12/18 months before we see a good upturn I am confident and will be keeping my investment, i do think they will need to keep changing the structure as they progress.

very apt name clueless

Unreal that that name is mentioned plenty changed from Miss Bryne's reign and here you all go again keyboard cowards, there was lots wrong with this company and some good people have put in drastic behind the scenes changes that are starting to come through, with some of the ideas of Mr Stone, some of the talent of his newly announced team this company still has the capability to turn round, maybe instead of slaughtering them all the time you look at the whole picture and bigger picture instead of a few sniffling comments from opinionated cowards. I and many others I speak to on a regular basis have faith in the structure now and the previous structure of the past 3 years, I am not sure all the people who have moved on was the correct decision but onwards and upwards, good luck Snacktime I for one as small shareholder believe in you. I did say I wouldn't post again but I can't abide reading all the doom and gloom.

Well well what a shallow lot you are, can you not see that this is the action of a bitter member of staff that is obviously part of the department going and does not represent what is happening they are trying to do a payback. Many companies Outsource these days, in fact 1 company I sit on the board for have been very successful with it as with anything the numbers have to stack. I am really not posting anything further on this poor company and people, I am amazed how so called investors react to a weak minded bitter individual.

Maybe if you all left the Management team to continue with their work and stop continually grinding them down with your comments the shares may go back up, you all comment on hearsay as do I, but only results will show the truth. I will say those who keep harping on about Jenkins though that this was mainly when he had just a snack business Snacktime hit trouble once he made his acquisitions and that's because he had no vending knowledge and surrounded himself with idiots. So lay off and lets watch this space as always I do believe the work being done will show its fruit.

Blackmark, Maybe that is correct and I am being unfair but he was at the helm of the mess, I think unfair to keep slating the current team in general, there are some good people trying hard to turn the business round from what I hear, maybe the weakness of the board is to blame, certainly Hartland and Sproston have years of experience and are highly regarded in the industry, as you say Blackmark Jenkins may not have been bad just ill advised as have the current senior team by a board of inexperience. As I keep saying I am fully behind the Russians but think it would be a huge mistake to take out some of the people as they understand the Uk market, they should compliment each other. Lets not forget Hardhill is working well in SITB and I think again watch this space in Drinkmaster things seem to be on the move here as well, so all in all a positive outlook.

I see we have some new members, right that is a very matter of fact post Mr Stone I am sure will have a plan as he will have to being new man in don't all new CEO's? as for Richard how is he going to turn the company round? there are good people in the team that will continue to fix the mess they inherited Mr Stone comes in at the backend of good background work not yet visable so will make him look rosey. As previously posted the previous Senior Management ruined this business Mr Jenkins, Ms Bryne, Mr Molnar and Mr Rawlings, maybe they would have been better keeping Mr Millard at least he knew what he was doing. I sincerely hope Mr Stone the team new and existing do succeed as my investment will grow with their success I think you should all stop living in the past and wait for an exciting future from the groundwork already done, with Mr Stone's fresh ideas and Russian backing. Seems to me to be a formula for a future top company and good luck to all of them.

Cook your information is slipping no new sales director, Richard is in commercial role Mr Hartland is alive and kicking and will continue,Ms Sproston has returned and from what I hear with open arms and full Russian backing, we have yet to see Stones full plan. Again I stress I am leaving my investment I have every faith this company has a future.

Sorry to disappoint guys but there was an admin error so I haven't gone anywhere or bit the dust Cookaburrow!!! As I have now said numerous times I have nothing to do with Snacktime other than a small investment, I just have several business investments that link me with the same industry and certain contacts that know Snacktimes history and current position, I am actually retired and my hobbies are investing and networking and sitting on a couple of boards. Cookaburrow I have explained my connection is it not time to come clean and explain your connections you really do seem to be very close and have released quite a lot of accurate information. Just to add Cook!! my attitude hasn't changed I just didn't agree with Clueless it's called having an opinion something you seem to think is one sided as that's all you have your own opinion and don't accept anything any other post says. I too agree with Lord Sutch and I believe Clueless in that Snacktime should now start to rise and I am keeping my investment, there are rumbles in the industry and much unsettlement with the current activity within Snacktime, I predict they are a new threat!!!
