Yes.............. BUT. Very unlikely Mr C
Good news again on Ironveld.!looking good for 2020!
My preference a joint venture as after 8 years here would dearly like to see the four smelter project carried out.........................................................

Hedgehog....good past resume. Barkby, the NEX company, Cap. 2m, 33M shares circ. has been suspended subject to a reverse takeover of the Dickson Entities consisting on completion , four companies. Price 30 M. in the words of board , the return post suspension will be considerably in excess of the 5p suspension price. I have been writing on this company LSE board including Sovereign for at least two years.....................................................................

Mr Cautious.... I fully appreciate that both investors and speculators have lost money here ,not least myself, but for me this is a snapshot and only a paper loss. As I have stated many times, L J will soon start to demonstrate his wealth of experience and he will accomplish his very difficult task. When this company starts to turn and it will,the company will be reset in a completely different direction to that which Peter Hibberd was taking us. A price ,however difficult now, will be well worth the pain.
Whilst I write , BARKBY GROUP is no over priced restaurant business. Unlike Kazera, results will be showing here within a very short time scale.
Oh ........ and yes I am more than awake, I don’t misread situations..............................................

Mr. Cautious
How you manage to get out of bed in the morning for fear of a tile falling on your head is beyond me! You certainly give a new take on the meaning of negativity, however everyone to their own........................................

Hi. Ismalia
Sorry for delay in answering. In general terms only , this a big fish so I expect it to be well the other side of Christmas.........................

the jigsaw is being put together. Again I repeat we are not dealing with an ordinary CEO, LJ will not let us down,it just takes TIME..................................
As already stated 2020 will be the year of real progress for G C. Companies. He is not a man who countenances failure......................

Hi Ismalia. I am away from my desk at the moment. As I have said before , the car business is set to grow rapidly. When the reverse takeover is finalised with Charles Dickson the new Executive Chairman in place the company will be fully diversified. Dickson is clearly a fast moving entrepreneur in the same school as Clarke. I would expect to see the four new businesses add an immediate shot in the arm to the profits of Barkby..........................

Whilst I have no idea whether news is close , I do not believe L J will allow this project to slip through his fingers. In view of the inhospitable terrain ,the jorc work completed to date is nothing short of a miracle. Johnson will NOT let us down. Whilst I write , for those that have followed my advice into Barkby Group should see their holding double in value as the 30 M acquisition returns from suspension. As I said on several occasions this company has a glittering future............................

Correction..............................................
Charles Dickson to be new CEO of Barkby Group. not as I wrote owner.................................

Ismalia. Looks very good the proposed deal to acquire the entire share holding of the above company. Through a placing we are to acquire two businesses namely a commercial property co handling 3 to 20 million pound sites. The second company a specialist coffee and coffee related hardware business and retail shops assume coffee shops . Also a large on line business. Charles Dickson ,the founder to be new owner of the enlarged Barkby Group. The price being paid 30 M. The report states that the share price will open materially above the prevailing share price of Barkby. My view. Transformational. G C is a master at this sort of growth........................................

Hi Ismalia. Sorry haven’t made this too clear . As I see it the company business will remain in the hospitality pubs and cars but the taken over company will radically alter the size of the company.
With regard to GC stepping down, I can’t see this happening as he has complete control of the taken over company, through shares ie a controlling Interest.......................................................
A final point here as I have said many times is this company will move very quickly now..very different to mining.Just as a footnote I have very large holdings in all three of GC mining companies.

Ismalia, I note what you say and agree to the point of your comments on GC . GC has a very large holding and in no way do I see him standing down temporarily or otherwise. He will be the success of the business. It’s worth remembering that a reverse takeover involves a minnow , in this case Barkby , purchasing enough shares in a much larger company, to take complete control of same. The nett result is the minnow takes on the mantle of a full public company with all that implies...............................................
A very different animal will emerge................................................

Ismailia, we are witnessing the start of a rapid expansion programme over ther next 5/6 years as I outlined over a year ago on this board. With regard to the transaction it sounds like a master stroke possibly allowing us a way out of the NEX market. I expect an issue of shares probably through placing not rights issue. In any event ,the deal will have been agreed but subject to shareholder approval. What is for sure is on return to the market, the share price will be at a much higher price.. Tempted to sell ....DONT.....................

The “IN “ sector for the catering industry at the moment is the top end hospitality chains , witness the above. We have a declared aim of 12 properties over three years which I have always considered conservative. It does not concern me that there has been a lull here, only to be expected. We shall soon start to acquire again with a firm base of support.
With regard to the investor postings, this is only to be expected.........
1. The NEX exchange is not investor friendly
2. Giles Clarke’s réputation has been tarnished by the events in Africa. Wrongly in my opinion.
3. The general market conditions in the third market has not been encouraging.
HOWEVER. All of the above will soon start to change. I have posted on Kazera Global saying the same but fell on deaf ears..
Because Barkby is a minnow with no history , for me it comes down to 1. Giles Clarke’s track record. 2.Are we in a high growth area,yes is my answer. 3. Am I impressed with the current B of D, again yes.
As I have said on Kazera posing, G Cs companies ,namely four , are set for a rerating...........................

The. “IN” sector

The. “IN” sector

Ismailia... no I have heard nothing but am certain a site will be found as the future for this fast moving business is in the mass appeal end of the market. As I have found to my cost ,the middle market operators leave much to be desired. Being an award winning company the knowhow is taken as read......................................

Mr c.........By définition anyone who posts on any company site is a ramper ,one way or another. I would respectfully remind you I am a long term investor in GC companies and have no interest other than relaying what I hope will be information of interest to other investors.DYOR.....................

Animal... what is worth remembering here is that L J has chosen the pain at the beginning instead of success early only to be scuppered early in development. This is the high selective route versus the bog standard ,what everybody has way. The third parties have certainly stated that there will be no deal done until JORC confirms quantities and quality. Like gold shares , this selective route was always going to ‘ cloak and dagger ‘. not the best for share price now but this will change when as I see ,a major deal is done........... 2020 will be a very different year for GCs four companies. The turn is well under way now. Under the radar is barkby Group , a little gem already moving upward nicely..............................

Animal if only I had a pound for every time I’ve been asked that.........To answer you less flippantly, it won’t surprise you that I believe in L J. and his business model..................................
