My sources tell me they lost two very big bank clients and one oil and gas company that must damage the portfolio

We don't want to head back into the 60s range, maybe some disappointing news leaking out before the results. Which would not surprise me with HRG. I'm confident of good results and a good dividend for shareholders.

Last year it was 11th June. I think it will be around the same date if not earlier possibly late May.

Now for HRG so get ready for some new highs. Transactions February & March have increased and client activity has been good according to my sources. Now will be a period of closed news till the results are due out.

Downwards. Two decent bits of news during February and this is flying down. The company looks in a better position than ever transactions are doing well and they are on track for good results. Buy now get In this is a great time hopefully we will be back into the mid 80s soon.

I am delighted to inform you that we have acquired the shares that we did not previously own in HRG Hong Kong, a joint venture business in which HRG was a 51% shareholder alongside WTL who owned a minority interest of 49%. This means that HRG Hong Kong is now a wholly owned subsidiary of HRG plc. Making HRG Hong Kong wholly owned has followed a review of our investment and presence in this increasingly important part of the world and reinforces our commitment to the Asia Pacific markets. It will help us present our international clients with further seamless opportunities as we consolidate and maximise their expenditure across the globe. Following completion of the transaction, I am pleased to confirm that Tim Hannan will remain in his role as General Manager of HRG Hong Kong and will continue to report directly into Greg Treasure. The team in Hong Kong have long operated as HRG, so little difference will be noticed from an operational perspective. However our colleagues in Hong Kong have now become 100% part of HRG plc, and with this in mind, I know you will want to join me in welcoming them '100%' to the HRG family and in wishing Tim and his team in HRG Hong Kong every success in our shared futures. Warmest regards DR

RNS Number : 9173Z Hogg Robinson Group PLC 13 February 2014  13 February 2014 Hogg Robinson Group plc ('HRG', 'the Company' or 'the Group') INTERIM MANAGEMENT STATEMENT Hogg Robinson Group plc, the international corporate services company, today issues its second Interim Management Statement for the year ending 31 March 2014, covering the period from 1 October 2013 to date. Current trading and outlook Although there continue to be ongoing uncertainties associated with the macroeconomic environment, the Board expects HRG to deliver a full-year performance in line with market expectations. Trading conditions have remained similar in the second half of the financial year to date to those seen in the first half, with recovery continuing in the UK and North America, while markets elsewhere in Europe and in Asia present a mixed picture and remain generally weak.Sterling's strength against all the major currencies in which the Group's revenues are generated is having some translation impact.For the four months to end January, revenue declined by 2% (unchanged at constant currency) versus the prior year.Client travel transaction activity was higher by 6% while client spend rose by 1% (up 4% at constant currency). The Group has seen strong growth in domestic rail bookings, particularly in the UK.However, while there are some indications that international air travel activity across our client portfolio is beginning to re-emerge, growth continues to be slow. David Radcliffe, Chief Executive of Hogg Robinson Group plc, commented: "Whilst we remain cautious about the pace of recovery and will continue to focus on maintaining a cost base that is appropriate to the market backdrop, we expect to deliver a full-year performance in line with market expectations.Looking further ahead, we continue to make good progress against our strategic actions to grow our business by continuing to evolve our offer and, at the same time, pursue measures to further improve our efficiency." Financial position The Group's financial position remains robust and cash generation across the Group has remained strong through the period. There have been no material adverse events or transactions that have impacted the Group's financial position since 30 September 2013. - Ends - Enquiries:

Why the sudden drop today, hope no bad news on the horizon.

Well done another new high last week I did not spot that one hope it breaks again this week looking likely.

6 million sold soon snapped up sp went up and a new high the real value of this share now has to be close to £1

Another new high today but then finished down. It does look good in my portfolio also. I was hoping to attend the business travel show myself but I have other appointments. Please share any news you come across I believe hrg have a very nice stand which hopefully will attract plenty of business. I think the share is rising on confidence especially if DR is saying the right things.

New high (86p) 3rd one this year 90p will hopefully come sooner rather than later. Total confidence in this share now my sources tell me David Radcliffe has a positive outlook for the company going into 2014. Go HRG.

That is why people sell jerry especially after a sharpe rise. Glad to finish the week in the 80s. I think we must be close to the magical 29% mark now personally I would look for 130p to 140p now before selling.

New high today 84p. Please do not sell we should be looking at 90p and beyond soon.

New high today at 82.75p. Get on now before it is to late things are starting to ramp up with HRG. Is a buyout on the horizon or a takeover happening soon ??????

Just was having a look through my portfolio and noticed HRG. A new high posted on 24/12/13 of all days anyone spot that and it was a short trading day till 12:30pm The share from 17th December has risen 7% why, not a lot happens over Christmas in the travel world. I think January is going to HRG's month I'm hoping to see 85p heading towards 90p. This company is going into its final quarter in a good position and I know they are working hard behind the scenes to even exceed results by making more cost cuts.

Was an interesting read but HRG in Asia are still doing well. They are streamlining the business to reach targets the same happening in the UK market who recently had redundancies. News will be out later this month and I am hearing mixed news. They remain on track if not better business has been good in previous 6 months with many clients trading upwards but also lost some clients recently according to my sources.

Has soon gone this has been heading south over the last 8 days. I hope we don't have bad news due out we should be getting a statement soon from the last 6 months trading. My sources say the company has had an excellent 6 months but remain cautious. History tells us the SP generally moves before news comes out.

Wow what a week so far let's hope it is set to continue. Will be nice to break through 80p and leave the 70s behind. September has started well for the company majority of companies are trading well and the company should see a strong end towards the first six months trading.
