Well done all involved the time has come for David to hand it over he has had a very good run and made a few quid but so have us investors, fair play to the fella. I think Amex in 2018 will quickly integrate a lot of HRG as they have the capacity to do so, sadly for hrg that could mean some significant job losses. Do you think as part of the deal we could purchase some Amex shares at a discounted price.
mine has not come into my account today maybe halifax are keeping hold of it for a couple of days I think 85p is my new revised limit here and then i am out i do not think we will see the magic pound.
Not to be heading Norrth, instead we are heading South. What is going on here the results were good but does the market get HRG or does it not trust them.
With the current SP been floating between 65p & 69p are we expecting bad results ??? With the excellent results last year we should be at £1 now and just worried now the books have closed do we have bad news coming. I know they have closed some branches which will probably boost the numbers.
On a slow upward curve here now I feel things are starting to happen. HRG are getting their house in order with the closure of some branches to streamline the business. I am aware of Birmingham closing with others in pipeline, I do not think anything will happen until year end IMO
I agree Buller the excellent results from HRG. They have held this back for far to long now nice rise to 70p and I get the feeling it is ready to Blow. I expect a strong final Q4 from HRG followed by great results in the summer where we should be at the magical pound mark before.
Are they due ????? It would be good to have an update, I thought when this hit the80's it was not coming back down.
On here recently. The SP has not moved upwards since the results we have actually lost around 12%. Which leads me to my next worry a profit warning on the horizon me thinks.
The bounce 66p to 70p down up down up nothing really happening here, thought we would have hit 80p plus by now I know the market is down in general but this is such a good share
HRG has announced that Nigel Northridge will be appointed as non-executive director from January 1 and as chairman from April 2016. Northridge is currently chairman of Debenhams and the senior independent director at retail and services firm Inchcape. He has spent 32 years with Gallaher Group including seven years as chief executive between 2000 and 2007 where he “drove consistent and significant growth in shareholder value”. Northridge has also previously served as a non-executive director of Aggreko, Thomas Cook Group and Aer Lingus Group and as chairman of Paddy Power until May 2015. John Coombe, chairman of the company, said: "I am delighted that the board has chosen to appoint as my successor someone with the extensive and relevant experience of Nigel Northridge". The travel management company has also confirmed that William Brindle, the group’s chief information officer, is to be appointed to the board of the company as an executive director
Again today 76p this is such a good share. Historically it has always had a good December hoping this is the best one ever.
Best volumes here for a long time this is going to fly past 80p and onwards and upwards towards 100p

Here are a few details I have picked out from the results. Hogg Robinson group delivered a good first-half performance in line with expectations. Our revenue was down a little less than 1% on a constant currency basis. Underlying operating profit margin was up from 10.8% to 12.3%. Reported profit before tax was up 26%. Revenue for HRG during the period was down by just over 1% while underlying operating profit was up 10%, both at constant currency. The travel management business share of group underlying operating profit was also up by 0.1% at 87.0%. The business witnessed ongoing recovery in the UK market with signs of improvement across Continental Europe. There was a modest slowdown in North America and weakness in Australia, as anticipated as a result of the ongoing domestic economy. A number of clients in the Energy & Marine sector have sought our help in reducing their costs as they seek to ride out the challenges brought by the lower oil price. We continue to see growth in the Meetings, Groups & Events (MGE) division with new wins during the period including Aggregate Industries and Eversheds. We have also retained the Ministry of Defence as a client in the UK. We continue to operate a progressive dividend policy. The board has declared an interim dividend of 0.68p per share, up 8% on the interim payment a year ago. This dividend will be paid on 4 January 2016 to shareholders on the register at the close of play on 4 December 2015.
70p broken and should stay broken with these results. HRG is a great share and should start heading toward the 100p mark very soon.
I am seeing a live price of 69.50p now hopefully we can break 70p. I see the 6 month results are due out on Wednesday so hopefully good news is coming.
frustrated with this share at the moment seem to have a stalemate on our hands was hoping to be settled in the high 70's by now.
the drop this should be flying now all the signs are great I am a little disappointed to be honest.
the 70's we go and a new 12 month high its been knocking on the door for the last week. New highs will become the norm now. Let it go, let it go, come HRG onwards and upwards
I am hoping we can get into the high 70's now and agree we are moving towards a takeover, I would not be surprised if discussions have already started. However BCD might have a very good holding but do not rule out Dnata this could play out very well for investors, it would be even worth buying in again at this price.
