The next focusIR Investor Webinar takes places on 14th May with guest speakers from Blue Whale Growth Fund, Taseko Mines, Kavango Resources and CQS Natural Resources fund. Please register here.
Please could you itemise the decent "Contracts"?
The Iran we never saw.....we were only told about it afterwards....bit like DCR....the jam tomorrow idea!
The ONLY contracts we have are the airport in SL bringing in a small amount, and Tema port for container screening.
That one again was jam tomorrow. WSG were brought in at the last minute because they were prepared to have it on greatly reduced terms.
If you know something I don't please give me examples of "CONTRACTS"....ie something which is making money.
I suppose Tower of London and Palace of Westminster could be called contracts......How much income do they produce?
WE NEED MONEY!!!
Sorry that you feel the need to sell win4call.
Do you think WSG is worth selling and could there be a buyer?
If the company lacks funding......I guess all things are wound down Fooler takes out what he wants and Tema and SL airport dribble along?
Could he sell?
It was the snide remarks from sunnyca that upset me. As I pointed out this is NOT a tin pot company. It has earned a lot of respect in its area of expertise, otherwise it would not have been given the awards that I mentioned.
HOWEVER.......
If you look at my history, I have often been critical of PF, and have agreed with a lot of the frustration felt by yrabsmurruc. I believe PF is an honest man, doing his best for the company.
But I question his ABILITY!
He has no flair, no carisma, and would not inspire me to get up off my chair!!! He has poor judgement, seems unable to plan ahead, he's short on ideas, and appears not to have a clue about finance!
But these attributes have always been there.
Many people have lost patience over the years because they realised that this man is not capable of setting the world on fire! So many names.....SFU, Tosh, Riddler all saw the writing on the wall. I didn't. Then I heard Paul Hill on Vox video. He said, that he had finally pulled out of WSG because he realised that after 10 years nothing was going to happen. There were other opportunities out there!! Should I go? Too much invested and I couldn't afford it.
So I hang on!
No, you are right Yrabs.....he is useless as far as shareholders are concerned.
....and Yes win4call I do trust him....opaque is a lovely word.....but he did not set out to deceive....he just tried to do what he thought would keep the sp up!
BUT hey.....we are where we are.....who knows.....with a bit of luck and a head wind.....
Heck he has enough "Agents," "JV's," and contacts round the world (which we are paying for!!).
It only needs one big RNS and this could take off. Get one and we will get more.
Good luck and thanks for your constant posting.....good to know there are others out there suffering too!
I was disappointed to read the comment from Sunnyca yesterday....
( a contributor to this BB about 2/3 years ago).....in which he said of Mr. Fowler, our CEO.....(and I quote)..
"I see the rhetoric hasn't changed much with Fouler. sorry Fowler, both stink after a while, honestly guys I admire the perseverance shown by yourselves, but the fact is Trump was a godsend for him, he didn't have to make something up for a change. No I'm not deramping as there is no need, he's a Tw,,t who has had countless pi's over, this type of company used to be countless in the eighties, now thankfully just a few who have to go to the High Court in order to survive for a few more years. That's the bones of it."
Now I'm not a huge fan of Mr. Fowler, but in this present climate of abuse, I would like to point out to Sunnyca, and any one else who wants to be "nasty" .....some of the following RNS's since Sunnyca sold out!
1. Contract for Security at Palace of Westminster. 29th Sept 2020
2. Identified as One of the Top 1000 Companies to inspire Britain 2020 3rd Nov 2020
3. Gained Queens Award for Enterprise, for outstanding contribution to International Trade. 29th April 2021
4. Graded "OUTSTANDING" by UK Civil Aviation Authority 4th May 2021
5. WSG Deputy Chairman was awarded the French National Order of Merit...(OK!!!?) 21st June 2021
6. Awarded contract to supply security to the Royal Palaces and fortress of The Tower of London. 12th July 2021
I find these awards very reassuring.
I'm not invested in a tin pot company.
WSG has been recognised for things which cannot always be bought.....how about Integrity. Reliance. Quality. Service.
Discretion. Trust. etc.....
Ok maybe things take a long time to achieve, but just because it has taken longer than we would wish.....that is OUR choice.
(and I know of all the c*** ups with the ferry etc. ) But we are where we are and I'm fed up of people having a go at the CEO.
Do you think he is doing this deliberately? Do you not think he wishes he could get things over the line more quickly?
Things start at the top and I believe in MR. P. Fowler and the Board we are invested in a company of some prestige!
(He still needs to get some help to cover the weaknesses in his team!!!)
Hi Jenny....like you I'm confused but I think LSE put the order in.......basically because the price is all over the place.
Too many fluctuations and they cannot fix a price.
I think it means that they suspend trading for a while to let things settle.
Nothing unusual or else these posters would be.. "all over it" ...like they are with everything else!
If I'm wrong I'll get the abuse!
PandaFund, thank you kind sir!
Such a clear explanation, even I could understand.
I always get MORE confused when I try to google things.
The explanation THEY give is often TOO detailed for my small brain.
Yours was brilliant.....and Thank You again for taking the time.
PandaFund?
You cannot be THAT good a person!?
Mr. RoxburyHouse.....as Everoptomistic has not responded to my query, please can I ask you the same question?
What is the meaning of the present RNS?
I have never seen one quite like this before.
Is it just another way of saying these are current holdings?
Thank you.
Mmmmm don't like the sound of this!

Salinger?
Please reasure me!
Setanta1 and Adon30.....Thank you so much for your explanations.
I actually understood them both.
£4545 raised, 227,273 share increase.....but mainly insignificant to SP.
Just had to be done!
I will read your future posts with even MORE respect!
OH come on Thebhoys!
Of course I meant the contents....I even gave you a clue......why more shares at this particular time?
Anyone would think I had blond hair!!
Thank you francobrett.....I think you might want to know too!
There are so many informed people on this board.
Please can one of you explain to this simpleton (not quite THAT simple.....I'm bright enough to have invested in Zephyr!) what does this RNS mean. Yes more shares issued but why at this particular time?
Thanks guys....I appreciate your thoughts.
Thank you for your personal account of ZPHR.
I found it refreshing to read a carefully constructed account without someone attacking it.
I now have the priviledge of deciding for myself where my research fits in with yours!

I cannot believe the corruption that is going on.
Why are the news media not bringing this to public attention?
What little I know has been provided by this BB and my own friends and contacts think I'm "loopy" and biased because of my interest in Avacta.
This is really scarey after the drop box fiasco in the news yesterday.......it should be followed up and pursued.
Thank goodness for an uplifting RNS.
Hats off to genuine companies like Avacta!!
This is the only BB that I have used the filter facility......16 at present.
It means I have big blocks of green....where my filters have worked.
I cannot understand why more people do not use this facility and thereby denying the "bashers" space to post their negative, paid for postings.
May I suggest others use this facility thus not encouraging useless posting.
THANK YOU to the posters whose views are relevant and encouraging in times of doubt!
Please don't let the "bashers" deter you...... I for one recognise the quality of your posts.
