Bigw77 Sidara was a substantial shareholder of Worley until 29 April 2024 when it sold its 19% shareholding in Worley, (just before its 1st bid for Wood) It looks like Sidara wants in on what Worley & Wood both do, Wood must be is its preference.

In April 2024 before the last takeover talks with Wood Group - interesting Sidara has started more talks with Wood

Hi All

The CEO Ken Gilmartin is wearing a tie & has had a shave in this video - very interested to hear what the CEO sounded like & was very impressed - its sounds like Wood is needed for what they do, not only in oil & gas, but also in getting to net zero.

Zinc still tucked away in my isa

Zinc have appointed a new MD - Tanya Shaw, Former MD of Shine TV - where she served as MD for six years, overseeing factual programmes including MasterChef and its various spin-offs and helping to grow traveling brands such as Hunted and The Island With Bear Grylls into returning series.
Prior to Shine TV, she was commissioning editor of features and formats at the BBC, where some of her key commissions included The Great Interior Design Challenge, Mary Berry Cooks and Rick Stein’s India.
Shaw also worked as a commissioning editor of specialist factual at Channel 4, ordering shows including Alone in the Wild, Tsunami: Caught on Camera and Elephant: Life After Death.

Zinc are at an interesting place when it comes to TV Viewing - Factual TV is becoming more popular - exciting times ahead.

Just had a quick look to see what Zinc are up to - https://www.zincmedia.com/latest-news/
It looks encouraging, the launch of a new production label – Supercollider – led by award-winning Director Mike Christie looks very exciting. Also here - https://www.televisual.com/news/zinc-media-launches-supercollider-with-mike-christie/
Also - Tern Television, has announced a push to further diversify in unscripted with the appointment of David Marshall as Head of Entertainment. David will genre-bend the brand. Innovative escapism, new game formats and noisy disrupters are what channels crave and we can create. It’s time to shine in entertainment. (branching out from documentaries here) David was Series Producer of the popular BBC One quiz show Impossible and launched Tern’s studio-based dating format Love Song. He has also worked as a key development producer at STV, IWC and BBC Studios, created new formats for Sky, Channel 4 and BBC Three and worked on several of the world’s biggest brands including X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent and Big Brother. If Zinc & Tern can create a show like one of those the sp may take off !
The company is making progress on its as wider transformation plan revealed in 2019, which was designed to fuel growth in factual and fact ent programming.
It looks like Zinc are busy building a company & looks like a growth story, i think they are steering in the right direction.

Have only just seen this -" Zinc scores debut Amazon Audible order"

Chief executive Mark Browning said
“I am particularly pleased to see Amazon become a new client with the group through their Audible division, as this opens up a slate of new opportunities in audio and television,” he added.

More good news

It looks like schoolsworld.tv is provided by zinc communicate ltd. schoolsWorld.tv has been sponsored in providing the Website by Zinc Media Group Plc. Has anyone had a look at this website - is this zincs ZOOM moment ??? Surely this is a great tool for parents trying to educate there children at home. Does this need publicising, there must advertising revenue to be earned here !!

Does anyone know if Zinc Media still own the content to Teachers TV, http://www.schoolsworld.tv/about-us
Following the dismantling of Teachers TV, Ten Alps plc (the company who ran Teachers TV for the Department for Education), launched SchoolsWorld continuing to allow teachers and educational professionals free access to more than 3,500 original Teachers TV videos, plus a wealth of supporting materials.
Now that we are in lockdown this asset must surely be of value & have some earning potential !! (hopefully Zinc Media do still own the content)

Hi Silverknight, yes maybe. I just thought lots of ideas may help, someone must have a winner, after all the nation is watching Gogglebox - People I know admit to watching it !! But why ? Is it a production to be proud of ? Why do people watch other people sitting in there houses watching TV & making fun of themselves or others on TV -- Why ?? There must be someone with an interesting idea that can attract people away from Gogglebox !! ( send them to Mark Browning) maybe that would even work - A TV show that people get a chance to give an idea for a Tv Show Uhm) sort of like "Mark L Fix It".
Seems like the formula for a lot of TV is Gogglebox a modern version of "The Royal Family" - not that i watched that either but huge numbers did. A family sitting on a sofa watching TV !!
Ideas to Mark Browning at Zinc Media Please.

Has anyone got any opinions, ideas, thoughts, etc that would make a highly viewable TV series. It seems shows like Bake off, Gogglebox, Big brother, love island, Blind date, I am a celebrity etc are watched by large numbers -- But why ??
Are those productions really good ? Is there a common formula ? It seems the public like watching a tv screen that is turned on & following the antics of a number of participants that often then become famous because of what ??///???
Surely Zinc Media need to look around & get on the bandwagon !
I would like to ask anyone who has a good idea for getting on that bandwagon & producing a production that the public are going to watch in high numbers, to get on the phone, email, to Mark Browning & let him know.
Ask your friends, do a survey, ask your children, ask your children to ask there friends, put a suggestion box in your office, workplace, ask on social media, Think, Now is your chance to come up with that TV SHOW you always thought of and that can now become reality !!
Just imagine ..... ( '..' ) It works and Zinc Media pull it off, your idea is produced & becomes a winner, at the end as those production credits roll down, and there you are "created by................................... << with your name"
This is a company that your idea may just make a difference to !!! Think of the possibilities & the SP !!
Good Luck & thanks for reading - "Your Company Needs You" :)

Hi Sbuild, Its frustrating allright, & yes David Galan did'nt really have the right knowledge to grow Zinc in this industry, surely the current CEO must be given a chance, His history in growing ITNproductions proved he has ability. Why join Zinc when he was doing so well, surely he has seen Zinc's potential, He must have a vision & contacts to achieve results, maybe deals are going on behind the scenes, (lets hope) Some new CEO's often let the sp fall a bit, Its going to be of more benefit to have a lower sp when they start negotiating share options.

Hi Guys, Sounds like Sausageface needs some help here - well have a look here http://zincmedia.com/about-us/television/
there's lots going on - there is also Zincs Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/zincmediagroupplc/
& also the twitter page https://twitter.com/zinc_media?lang=en
Also Tern are casting for a new Dating Show "Are you single?Love to sing?" which sounds like a winner - could this be the new "Blind date & Britains got Talent, Love Island etc" - rolled into one show, sounds like a winning formula - are we heading for "Bake Off" sorry i meant "Take Off" if this, single new show takes off as did "Bake Off , Blind Date & Britains Got Talent" we are soon going to be at Shenners party.
So back to you Sausageface, have a look at Blakeway, ReefTV, Films Of Record, Brook Lapping & Tern TV. I am glad you asked the question as i was just checking the chat here & saw your question so had a quick look at what was going on & finding this info about Tern Casting for a new "Dating & Singing" show really made me think yes that should have mass market appeal. Good Luck all & if you research a bit you may find a potential "Love Productions" which was bought by Sky after having a lot of success with Bake Off , Is it now Zincs turn ???

Now that the past years results are out, This new Team can maybe start to reveal their plans, (i would expect them to start buying into the company soon & then Things may start to get interesting, i feel quite positive - content is going to be in demand, from all the new On-demand TV Channels + all the existing broadcasters, Zinc have proved that they can produce quality productions & with this new experienced TV production management team doors should start to open, they have contacts & have shown what they can do at ITN productions.
Good Luck all - patience may pay off for the brave !!

Sounds like a good appointment - things are certainly happening behind the scenes, feeling positive, Shenners party getting nearer :)
