Trotsky , I simply am pointing out that we get the same old repeated message from Management and personally I no longer have any confidence In then

You mention the new 365 , I will do some research but some of those categories Topps used to sell and exited like laminate flooring. I point again to parkside and what waste of management time it has been.

This company needs fresh leadership in my opinion.

B&Q figures yesterday were not showing a -10% LFL .

Disappointing numbers particular getting nowhere with parkside and the core Topps stores are down 10% ..

some upside on the online business but won't be long before someone copies pro tiler and will be interesting to see if the founders actually stay now the earnout opportunity has gone ...

I hope the positive people ok here are proven right and the second half of this year does not get worse for toppstiles , I stand by my comment that they need some fresh changes at management level even if it’s additions … This company in its best years was making 40m plus profits per year and last 10 years it’s not moved and my concern is the share price for the last 2 years has not been great.

I also expected Topps to take market share from Tile Giant after its collapse but I guess their former CEO who now owns Tile Giant is doing a better Job and growing sales there ….

Very interesting debate I’m a newcomer here and only commenting after being frustrated with the latest results of a company I hold shares in .. I’ve visited Topps stores and their main competitors and have to honestly say Topps are in a better shape and what may help them is the demise of others , however I’m not happy with management few reasons

1. They panicked and sold their main warehouse during covid and now facing increased fixed costs

2. The parkside they should just cut losses and move on I cannot see why they think anything will change after 4 years

3 management share schemes all based around market share targets like 1 in 5 that can’t be proved and more importantly give no value to us the shareholders it shouod be based on straight forward profitability and share price growth

Also Topps don’t have an answer the online players like total tiles , tile mountain and so many others just go and compare the prices …

Topps needs fresh new management in my opinion otherwise that cash on balance sheet will soon disappear

Topps tiles disappoints again , current trading not looking good and don’t understand why they keep talking about pro tiler according to their own managers Topps stores are loosing sales to pro tiler website … todays release focussed so much on customer service score reality is that as a shareholder I want to see a path to decent share price growth can’t see it coming anytime soon
