Criticisms and "Pay-to-Play" Concerns

Revenue Model: The primary concern raised by some in the business community is that the core business model of GHP's parent company, AI Global Media, is based on selling enhanced promotional packages (e.g., physical awards, extensive magazine coverage, marketing tools) to winners. These packages can be expensive, leading some to characterize the process as a form of "pay-to-play" marketing, even if the basic award itself is free.

Nomination Process: Nominations often come from the in-house research team or third parties, meaning a business may be "alerted" that they've won an award without actively seeking it or knowing they were nominated.

Perceived Value: The value of the award is debated. Some winners express genuine pride in the recognition, viewing it as a testament to their hard work and a boost to credibility and employee morale. Others consider the unsolicited awards to be "bogus" or a "scam" if the recipient hasn't even started their business yet, suggesting the vetting process is not rigorous enough.

In summary, GHP awards are not an outright scam, as an assessment process does exist and the basic recognition is free. However, businesses should be aware that the primary goal of the program appears to be selling optional, high-cost promotional opportunities, and the perceived prestige may vary within the industry.

Release accounts at 5pm and hold presentation at 9am next morning. After delays of how many months?

Totally missed it.

Is this the way to run a business ? Seems they are trying to hide things as my personal observations have already made.

"Since the start of the Offer Period, Wood has received a number of expressions of interest from, and engaged with, other parties in relation to a possible offer for Wood. However, as at 28 October 2025, being the latest practicable date prior to publication of the Supplementary Circular, no proposal other than the Acquisition, written or verbal, has been made for the Wood Group and Wood does not have any discussions ongoing with, and is not in receipt of any approach from, any party other than Sidara."

This could have been rns ... They hid from us that others had engaged .

Were they given the info they needed?

Something smells rotten in the state of denmark

See you are right again atan - bid is 2.5p

seems the rubbing of crystals is about as productive as selling snake oil...

Sid dropped the price because they could.

there is no resistance from the bod or II.

FCA won't do anything. toothless and just for show.

the company will soon be private (belonging to sid) and therefore FCA have perfect excuse not to do anything other than a few soundbytes

"There using every second to there advantage, ie shafting us all."

This.

I always said we will get at the last possible moment. Trying to make it too late for anybody else to get involved.

All part of the promotion of the sid deal

A single trade pretty much sums up this share .

Abandoned by even the aim pump and dump crew as just no mileage .

Such a shame ...could have should have been a great story if someone had held onto colins crayons

Atan - usa is a real tough nut to crack. huge and having to compete with uber aggressive sales teams

uk tiddler has little chance - as shown by year after year of claims it is the target market and no significant change in sales

we have had no RNS on significant contracts secured. previously even modest ones were notified - so what has the sales team achieved?

we will know soon enough but my guess is nothing significant.

in which case the SP will be battered again.

i would not be surprised if some on here are selling out - whilst pumping - to buy back cheaper after the probable drop on trading update. some already have form on here

if not then even ploughing their giro cheque in for more shares wont stop the rot.

It might be the bottom but you have to ask yourself what is the driver for a rise in SP.

they barely opened the jam tomorrow jar on last update.

sales were down...disguised by a bit of luck in the gov dispute.

company is still not able to make a profit pedalling the same product that it has for years

that means it is burning cash

of all the shares out there - why would you put money into this one?

asking for a friend

They don't have two totally differing meanings

Buying is the opposite of selling.

Constant is not the opposite of continual ..i suspect most people would think it were very similar if not the same

Since a traded share will have buying on a regular basis - although note I am not saying large or significant ..i hardly think saying continual by its pure dictionary definition means anything

You have tried to infer that the buying is some how extraordinary and there is something behind it - as you usually do with back of the sofa trades

The reality is that the so is down 7% which is not a sign of constant or continual buying

Maybe selling?

Apologies was constant not continual.

Sorry the other way around...continual not constant.

Clearly a massive difference.

Must be the constant buying ...or was that more lies ?

I think there would be a potential case here - considering the projection of free flow and turning down offers that were in excess of what the company was worth had the books been straight etc

false accounting must surely come under negligence if not something more serious

Thanks mate

Where is the webinar video?

Wh

Wonder if these BOD will release these financial after this AGM today. Bloody useless BOD all I can say"

At this stage . If they are not releasing the accounts it is because they don't want to. They will release it at the last possible moment they can.

That way they avoid face to face with shareholders and support sids bid

Sales down. still not making a profit after pedalling the same old snake oil for at least a decade.

not even any jam tomorrow in the last trading update.

even blind roger drinking in the quare fellows arms - frequented by a mate of a mate of 5-0 can see the truth

"The borrowing limit in 98b is 3 x the adjusted capital and reserves. So I am assuming that the revised accounts are marking these down by a material amount - not that they’ve uncovered significant undisclosed borrowing.

To be fair to Ice they have previously implied that the adjustments won’t be particularly significant. They lied."

THIS!

their accounts have been so fraudulent that there should be jail time.

Atan. ..just looked in . You were bang on about the sp.

So might oscillate a bit..but there is no driver for any long term rise. Still burning cash
