On Page 27 if you have a copy ( beneath the cartoon appropriately ) Janice refers to incorrect statements from the Shadow minister for defence procurement about the Navantia Contract saying ".....the Tories awarded a contract to build naval support ships to the Spanish who made the lowest bid"

She goes on "the decision ignored the benefits of keeping well paid defence jobs in mainly deprived areas and taxes to the Treasury etc etc " .I have written to the editor putting him right and quoting from our own factual news release when the contract was announced -Sheer false news and you would expect better from the Times . If anyone can cut and paste , please do so -only the last 3 paragraphs apply ! Jobs ,Jobs, Investment ,Transfer of High-Tech information et etc ,Apprenticeships, Regeneration etc etc all ignored.

Hmm ..must be more troubled in my mind indeed by all the depression of the S.P. over this year --"JW" NOT "JR" -well spotted K !!

Hmm.. Yes, for sure this whole ( or should I say "hole " ) JR episode has indeed "taken the shirt off our backs" for far too long now --the sooner it gets resolved ,the better, allowing JR to announce all the excitement of his bidders for the project --some 5+ years on from when he first came on the scene --not all his fault though !!

We then have refinance deals, SeaRose, "Scilly Boats" and other prospects to salivate over but not counting on Cruise ships !! Crucial weeks ahead folks !!

.................Not deleted but not being an expert in the exercise of Warrants or the like I would like to seek some views here. I just noticed today that last week or so the notified issued Ordinary share capital increased from 172,170,018 to 173,047,211 which is of course about just under 1m shares . Dilution applies !Have a look at the Webby Page under Significant Shareholders.

Not sure if this has been affecting the S.P. of late ,dismal that its performance has been .Comments welcome please !!

Only Kidding !! But you never know with JW !!!? Must be the Scilly Season ?

Stokey, Well spotted ....They ARE Buys " !!

Yep --spot on --up far too early to post here --It was indeed Adrian Po**ck ,not Andrew P ...flights from Birmingham on time and visibility should be good when landing at City !! Will be looking down on IM --seem to have lost my capitals as i write ..as well as my marbles !

folks, jfk9 has been around here much longer than many more recent belligerent posters. i recall him at the early meetings with jw and ar in london just after they had been "bussed in " to sort out im after the andrew p's debacle. imho. jfk9 is by no means simply "a failed business consultant" .he is highly knowledgeable about im and worthy of far more respect here !! who here can recall andrew po**** ?! am up early today on a late holiday trip ...to n. ireland !!!

Me too --well said, Sir !!!

Seena Shah was on ITV News last evening promoting the interests of small builders as spokesperson now for the Federation of Small Builders against the onward creep of ULEZ . She is looking great ..What a loss to us all !!!Try Catchup and see what I mean !

Fair comments both Stokey and LSE03 to a point.

BUT --The JR hearing was in early May and we are not likely to hear the result til mid September ---that's nearly 5 months in fact and before the hearing we suffered delay after procedural delay of about 2 years +.

I thought that the gist of the hearing was all about one prime issue : "Did Poots have authority to do what he did and did he do it in the correct manner ? " We shall see, but I hear fully what you say about "taking time to fully consider the facts and come up with the correct decision etc !!

Storenergy in Cheshire are ramping up proposals for storing Hyrdrogen in their salt caverns in Cheshire .

Have a look at their web site as they are seeking funding. Its exactly the type of plan that we can now move forward on (Subject of course to the interminable JR!) for the Isle Magee project.

It's truly amazing in this country with planning issues, general bureaucracy and folk working from home now that "nothing seems to get done any more". Whilst we have to respect out legal brethren and judicial process it is crazy that the judiciary seem to have no commercial realism whatsoever and just swan off for a 2 month break in the middle of cases and on the other hand the lawyers beaver away and allegedly set up bogus defences hampering all the government's efforts to sort out immigration tangles.

Rant over .Let's just hope that the JR comes out in our favour allowing us to get on with the vital project for once and for all ..otherwise we all may have to remain doomed ...until at least the rewards from FSS finally arrive and "our boat comes in " !!!

Hmm you are sooo right -- you try referring or spelling that very large competitor to B.A.E (and ourselves) and one gets the proverbial ****'s --Adrian Po..."sounds like a dingly dangly item " was also a decent enough chap ..but had to move on when he made some rather non complaint administrative errors .poor chap !!

LSE seems to have corrected all my Caps !! and rearranged the paragraphs --the gremlins are busy today --all may be revealed by the close !!

arun has been with the company along with jw from when they both joined or were parachuted in to sort out infrastrata and the isle magee project following the resignation of adrian po**** in ,i think ,2018 .these two complemented each other well ,jw and his engineering background with b.a.e. and others and arun with his financial clout and expertise via storenergy uk in cheshire.

findingtheta --the post indicates a wish by arun with congratulatory mojos "to share the time to move on with you " or something like that !

but they were once "two men and a dog" working from a very small office and i just wonder that as the company has now grown so fast and vast relatively, is it the tight time to move on or is there some outside influence and pressure ?

a rather strange post showing only half a story leaving us guessing a bit here.?

whatever, i have spoken with arun many times and gotten to know him well .a decent friendly chap who with jw has guided the company over many hurdles ...and for sure there will more a plenty in weeks to come !!

Welcome to the adventure indeed, and please ,LSE03, do keep posting here as your posts news and stories are always welcome and informative..Glad to that the first barge from Methil will soon be ready for the longest journey of its life span !!

Other posters will do well to look LSE03 up !!

It is very frustrating indeed to have to wade through and filter out all the tittle tattle and vitriolic sniping on this board of late .Yes, I have mentioned this one before as with others.

The board should be for private investors and other stakeholders in our glorious Company providing newsy reports from sources outside the Company whether negative or not.

The likes of Kaeren ,Stokey ,TTNY, Chrisdl, Lottie ( wherever "she" may now be !) Broomtree, LWHL, Xenor, LSE1 just to name a few are all worthy contributors here.I know that I have missed a few good folks out -apologies for that .

We should have some news in the new few days for pretty obvious reasons and a further impetus in September. So setting aside the battles with finance and the choppy seas in that regard ,there is still much to "love" about H&W ..Just please keep to the facts and spread the word !!

Absolutely amazing ...and in some ways rather refreshing !! Must not post too soon though ?

There is an interesting scenario reported by the "Sundays" today

The boss of Scottish Power reports that since the start of the energy crisis in 2022 it is a startling fact that Ukraine has built more onshore wind facilities than England ( OK not the whole of the U.K. )

Just let that sink in.

We seem content that a country at war can still construct more of them than us . We have all the facilities and technologies .We just need to get them built .To create jobs and support local communities + drive the energy transition.

There is a need for certainty for investors (as here ) so that we can build long term assets and infrastructure designed to last 20,30 or even 40 years.

Yes, there is an analogy with I.M. here .

Planning has been a disaster for us LTI's. If I.M. was now our only asset ,we would have long since disappeared down our own hole ,so to speak ( sorry that such sounds a little rude but not intended )

I.M. is a worthwhile project for the Larne and Antrim area and with Hydrogen we can use the expertise of Arun ( ex Storenergy at Stublach Cheshire and otherwise ) and JW ( ex B.A.E. Australia etc ) . + others !

We have not heard from Steven R ( "Nobby") for some time ..his expertise and comments will be welcome.

If the JR is not favourable or goes somehow to an appeal yet again , it is not the end ..it just confirms that commercial reality in the U.K. is a nonsense ,not because of legal issues ( which we have to respect of course ) but just having to constantly battle against the reams of red tape --unlike as in Ukraine !!

I always considered that it was wise to "keep one's counsel" here regarding such matters ..not only tediously intrusive and personal but always non-verifiable. What we need here are facts about news on turnover ,cash flow, new orders, issues with existing ones ( these happen every day of course !) break even ( remember that such was to be Q4 2021 at one stage ) and profit but that one of course is "pie in the proverbial" at present and a very long way off .
