Large Buys at close - continuing the theme this morning. News is imminent IMHO. Look for a bounce to 25p+ in the next few days. BGBL are locked and loaded. Watch this space. This one is about to fly.
Bglobal's progress so far has been stymied by a reluctance on the part of energy companies to commit fully to smart metering until they are confident of government backing. But in April the Department for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform indicated its support for legislation to mandate the use of smart metering as a key energy efficiency measure in the medium sized industrial and commercial market from the beginning of next year, and Bglobal's order book finally took off. It now has framework agreements with six energy companies and a pipeline of installations totalling 140,000 smart meters - by way of contrast, so far Bglobal has fitted a total of 33,000 meters. Installations are expected to increase rapidly from here, hence the decision to tap investors for another £2.5m to boost working capital.
Looking for 30p in the next few days. More news re smart metering out this week. Looks strong. imho

Published: 15 January 2009 03:49 PM Industry Channel: Transport & Distribution Email articleComment on this articleMay Gurney has shaved ten per cent off its fuel costs in three months after installing a fleet tracking system from Cybit. The integrated support and construction services company set up the web-enabled system, called Fleetstar-Online, with the maintenance fleet of its Highway Services sector. Martin Potter, operations director for May Gurney Highway Services, said: “Having the Cybit solution has been a business revelation, both for tactical operation and corporate business efficiency management – even in such a short space of time. We are using the data produced to benefit our business from a cost, mobile worker safety and service perspective.” “We need to see where our engineers are when an urgent call comes in,” continued Martin Potter, “otherwise we don’t know who's in a position to deal with the incident most effectively. We now have all the live information available to effectively manage the process of identifying the most suitable resource – on a location and skill basis.” It has also reduced the size of its fleet by five per cent as a result of better allocation of vehicles. “We use our fleet smarter now. We noticed one instance where one of our smaller vehicles was making trips backwards and forwards for most of the day, when a larger vehicle could have the same effect

07:03 Eagle-i Holdings Plc - Trading Statement PRN Eagle-i Holdings Plc Pre Close Trading Update Eagle-i Holdings Plc ("Eagle-i" or the "Company"), a leading developer and supplier of vehicle positioning and fleet management technology and services, announces a trading update following the end of the financial year to 30th November 2008.
