http://buyingbusinesstravel.com/news/2421175-hrg-wins-contract-accountancy-giant. This SP has to start moving north soon. A great win for HRG and will start trading this year.

The Group has traded in line with our expectations during the period since the year end. For the three months to 30 June 2013, revenue rose by 4% compared to prior year (up 1% at constant currency). Client travel activity was higher by 7% and client spend up by 6% (up 3% at constant currency) year on year, as we continued to help our clients maximise the value of their travel-related expenditure while delivering incremental cost savings to them. As previously highlighted, the full-year performance will have a greater weighting towards the second half than was the case last year, reflecting the prior year first-half benefit of a technology agreement. Although we expect trading conditions in our industry to remain challenging, the Board believes HRG will continue to show good progress and deliver a full-year performance in line with market expectations

To end the week at 73.25p. Especially after hitting a new high of 77p on Wednesday. 80p plus has to be on the cards soon I just hope they are not playing around with the sp. On the news front I know HRG are streamlining more of its costs internally with a couple of branches closing and the first quarter has gone especially well with many clients trading upwards.

70p passed not even stopping, next stop 80p plus. New 52 week high today I noticed which will raise the profile of the company. I was looking around and found this information, maybe BCD are starting to get houses in order. http://www.tnooz.com/2013/06/18/news/bcd-travel-buys-corporate-travel-division-of-travelocity

Looking forward to the divi payment but 70p is close now and beyond. I know they are streamlining more of the business and the sector is doing well generally.

SP spent most of the day down at 64p only to finish up at 66.50. Let the share go now we don't want to be hovering around 65p to long lets get over 70p. More news which should help http://www.hrgworldwide.com/Media/Press-Releases/Pages/Statoil-appoints-HRG-as-global-travel-management-company.aspx

Hope you are not hungover from the whiskey last night but what a great week for this share. Personally I hope we don't see a RNS on Monday because that will be they are not even close to the percentage required, which means more rises in the SP with all this buying. HRG a in a great position they are keeping costs down within the business closing expensive branches better technology new business all positive news for the SP. I would be very surprised if HRG got to 2014 still as a public company but the longer this goes means good profits for us.

Is boiling nicely now. 62p and beyond today not long till we get back over 70p. Do not sell them cheap keep the faith here

This is ready to blow anytime. The broker recommendations are excellent news slowly creeping up they cannot keep this down for long we should be seeing 60p plus soon.

Next Tuesday not sure what to think. Anyone any ideas or thoughts ???

Waiting for results now hopefully sp will rise which could give us a good indication on how the company is doing. Sales / transactions in march have been good my sources are telling me, also do not forget HRG biggest clients have not traded the full year so the outlook for 2013/2014 should be good.

Expect nothing no news as they will enter a closed period from end of march till results are announced. If the sp rises I think we can expect a bidding war from 21 May.

The announcement will prob come after 31st March once the year closes for HRG. I heard DR was in Dubai and the US recently so that only leaves BCD and Dnata either way I think 80p min anything less and we will be disappointed after hitting 72p

Totally correct something is going on and I think we will see mid 60's by the end of March. My sources are telling me business is good and lots of high level meetings going on. I think once the results are out HRG will be in new hands in the summer. We should see results early June

Back down again what a joke this is getting come on HRG

Hogg Robinson Group plc, the international corporate services company, today issues its second Interim Management Statement for the year ending 31 March 2013, covering the period from 1 October 2012 to date. Group performance The Group has continued to trade broadly in line with management expectations during the period since the announcement of the half-year results on 29 November 2012. For the four months to end January, revenue declined by 7% (down 6% at constant currency) versus the prior year. Client travel transaction activity was lower by 2% while client spend fell by 3% (down 2% at constant currency). We remain focused on maintaining a cost base that is appropriate to the market backdrop while ensuring that our usual high standard of client service is not compromised. Outlook Despite the ongoing uncertainties associated with the macroeconomic environment, the Board believes HRG will continue to show resilience and deliver a full-year performance broadly in line with market expectations. David Radcliffe, Chief Executive of Hogg Robinson Group plc, commented: "Whilst the market backdrop remains uncertain, Hogg Robinson continues to make progress as clients look to the Group for support in helping them to achieve best value from their travel budgets. Based on the performance to date and the ongoing work to improve the efficiency of our operations, the Board continues to believe that HRG will deliver a full-year performance broadly in line with expectations." Client activity As anticipated, market conditions have remained challenging since our last update at the end of November. Our clients have continued to seek further, incremental cost savings. This plays to HRG's strengths as clients place heavy reliance on our expertise and experience to help them maximise value from their travel and related expenditure while lowering aggregate spend. Increasingly, clients are seeking a more consultative approach to travel and expense management, typically where HRG is rewarded with a share of costs saved on their behalf, and we welcome this emerging trend. Financial position The Group's financial position remains robust. Net debt rose year-on-year, as expected. At 31 January 2013, net debt was approximately £9m higher than at the same date last year, principally due to acquisitions made, including the purchase of the remaining interest in Spendvision (£10m). There have been no material adverse events or transactions that have impacted the Group's financial position since 30 September

When are we going to say enough is enough with HRG. Down to 50p back to 52-53p we all know the share price should be over 65p plus but they are just taking us for fools at the moment. Is it because the city doesn't trust Radcliffe why isn't the sp moving. January has been a good month for the company handled the snow crisis well also have the business travel show coming up maybe some news will filter out there. If anyone does attend please share any info.

HRG starting Q4 and I think this will start to head north very soon.

Revenue Down -10% Profit Down -3% Profit Margin up good results hrg should finish the year off strong

Well it is news week at HRG. I think the news is good last week we say a 12% rise on the week this should start to ahead towards 60p very quick and beyond.
