PPS has made three appointments to its Bristol team to support its ambitious growth plans.' 'Managing Director of PPS Group Andy Martin said: “PPS has a great track record of delivering high profile and successful campaigns for clients in the South West. Our new team members will help us to build on that reputation. “These are exciting and challenging times for the South West and I know the team is relishing the prospect of working with clients in the area and offering the support and advice to help them succeed.” Ben added: “How organisations communicate with their stakeholders and the wider public on big issues that affect a community is more important and complicated now than it’s ever been. Working in a team that knows its business sectors extremely well, and can combine this understanding with the skills clients need, is a hugely exciting prospect for me. “I’m looking forward to working with the team, the wider group and its clients.” http://www.ppsgroup.co.uk/news-and-events/pps-group-strengthens-south-west-team So PPS are expanding!!! A good sign they are doing well.

Great post Ismalia. I agree with you! All the directors have been buying in at 6-9p here. Sure that 6M buy from Bob may have been used to soak up some of the HH Marlborough shares but this is still all his own money. He would not inject 480k-700k+ into a share unless he thought it was going somewhere. I do think this share is undervalued. This will sharply reverse once HH clear here. I think the recent contract wins will also add nicely to the bottom line. Waiting also on a RNS for this new investor. I still expect a loss for this year due to that 1.4M write down and one off costs. I like you will be looking at the business performance once these are stripped away. This is an interesting business that is gradually finding it's feet. When it does the SP will rise quickly and the business will expand quickly through acquisitions. 6p seems an absolute bargain here.

This will likely be pattern till HH clear. There was 169k bought on isdx yesterday. Did you top up in the end? Slow day today.

I noticed Invesco Limited a major shareholder reduced their stake in December 2015 by almost 10%. Maybe they have decided to further reduce their stake? I think this could fall further if it is being targeted by market forces or a hedge fund? 90-110p would not shock me. I think someone wants this share lower here. Maybe there is some bad news in the background? Quindell news? Cenkos is one of those shares that shot up hugely in value 1-2 years ago on a strong performance. If this is just the work of a shorter could we see a repeat of what happened to Glencore or AA mining stocks where they halved and shot back up pretty much soon after? Timing your buys would be key here. If the share is truly under valued why would Hargreaves Hale or other institutions not mop up the cheap stock? See what happens here.

27p average is horrible. Many people on Excite are suffering a worse fate. That share has nose dived almost 90% over last 2 years. If you wanted to top up 6p would lower your average quickly. I hold firm to my belief that a buyer is slowly soaking up HH shares. Also that the directors will buy in after acquisitions. For now I am not worried about 5-6p price. My average is about 9.4p. Any top up below 6p is very good value here. Over 50% below CAG valuation.

If you tot up the trades on LSE today with the 2 late trades yesterday including that 125k buy? and 50k sell?? Pretty much works out 350k bought and 350k sold. The rise at 14.46 was due to a 75k buy on ISDX. So lots of interest at these prices. Just need to be patient. Directors will be happy for this to continue till results come out when they can buy in if acquisitions sorted. I think they will delay the next RNS till next week now. PR timing.

We knew this process was still on going. One buyer and sell doing arranged trades. HH could have 8-10 million shares left. Probably much less?

It's a shame you did not attend the meeting. Me and a friend are considering going to the AGM. See what happens. I think once directors can buy in here they will do so in volume. I suspect deals have already been made. The late trades make me think the buyer/seller is not quite done yet but I believe they are in the end game process.

125k trade at 6p has just shown up? That with the 50k trade might of shifted the SP higher. They could both be buys? Or maybe a larger late trade is yet to come? Df1976 - Shares go up and down. Who knows what might happen tomorrow. What is encouraging is that such small trades shift the SP up 7-8%. I think some of these buyers may have been at todays GM. Overall let's not knock some good news. If you can't handle shares going up and down you are in the wrong business.

Strange the share is up 6% today. I wonder if any information was passed on at GM? Would anyone of actually attended? There are 2 buys on isdx. 25 and 50k. Apart from that we would be waiting for a delayed trade. I guess we will have to wait for any further updates on acquisitions. Not suprised vote was passed. Directors have over 22% of vote and BM votes for all those that did not vote.

Looks like this deal has been extended to include other brands such as Bosch, NEFF and Gaggenau. Contract seems a much larger brief now.

Actually the tax year still has 2 full trading days left. Interesting that this General meeting is being held of the day of the new tax year?? Is that normal for renumerations or is it picked for another reason? Hopefully all will be made clear come next week.

Be amazed if the selling is finished. Don't think HH have touched their VCT stock yet. VCT could have at least 6M+ stock? The mystery buyer would certainly not stop under 3% if an II. Purely stopped due to tax year is my guess.

100% agree about some news and the feed here getting a touch dull as we all wait for news. I just don't think they will rush out news. It's not in their interest to while the II are trading shares. We should get an RNS next week from the general meeting with the results of vote. Reality is when you have a big seller good news tend to lead to them dumping stock, Better to get on with things quietly while the II trade shares. Also I think they will delay good news for after the vote. Not sure how big the Siemens contract is. Maybe not big enough for an RNS.

Good comments Adastra. Game of cat and mouse today. 2 test trades from HH and mystery buyer.

My gut is Porta has found a buyer who intend to take a large 3-5% stake in Porta. I think they already hold at least a 1-2% stake. The new investor will use this period whilst the acquisitions happen to support the share price as HH sell up. Once the acquistions are done, the new investor is finished and HH have almost cleared their stake, then the directors will buy in and look to mop up leftover stock. This would also explain why the directors paused buying. (Acquisitions/new investor/HH selling up.). The new investor would not want the director pushing up the share price making their costs higher. See if I am proved right come May/June.

http://www.gorkana.com/2016/03/siemens-hires-publicasity/ Siemens has chosen Publicasity to handle the UK PR for its range of cooking, cooling and washing appliances, following a four-way pitch. Publicasity will work with Siemens to promote its cooking, cooling and washing products, which are manufactured by BSH Home Appliances, through consumer show exhibitions, sponsorships and media events. The agency will also promote the Siemens’ ‘For a life less ordinary’ message across all its categories. Sounds a positive new contract from another big name. Hopefully one of many new contracts to come.

Siemens home appliances have appointed Publicasity. Unable to post link from Gorkana. Nice big name for a client.

Well a great chance if anyone got in at 5.25p. Looks like someone is soaking up these shares on a daily basis. Can we expect an RNS from the mystery buyer soon?
