https://www.indeed.co.uk/cmp/Loopup/reviews?fcountry=ALLMy time at LoopUp was very different throughout my tenure. It was exciting at the start as a first job out of college. I learned a lot from one particular person in management whom I viewed as a mentor, he was let go recently along with 49 others in a lay-off. Work was fun because there were good people around. Many (not all) at the executive level however, didn't see things as they were in the US and wouldn't adapt to markets here. Processes from UK were spread across global markets and when it wasn't working in the US, the executive team was tense, but still not willing to stop and understand things differently. The product is extremely behind in an over saturated market full of innovative competitors. Instead of expanding the engineering team and product roadmap, 40 new salespeople were onboarded and new offices opened to show growth to the stakeholders. Overall very average job with a lack of fulfillment. Job security was good but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. This place is a stepping stone for experience and maybe a title advancement for your resume.
thanks for the post. how do you explain revenue for the last 2 months only growing by 6% in PS?
this is very risky for all new investors Katora paid for the project around $750k how can this be worth now £10m?
the share can go up but the company is not worth even one million pounds, one day it will crash like the directors other company Kibo
SigmaRoc (SRC:51p), a company pursuing a buy-and-build strategy in the heavy building materials sector, is navigating the Covid-19 crisis far better than analysts had predicted, prompting a round of earnings upgrades following a robust set of interim results. I flagged up the potential for upgrades when I last suggested buying the shares, at 41p (‘Targeting value plays’, 3 August 2020).
Acquisitions helped boost first-half revenue by 83 per cent to £54.5m, but the key for me was that like-for-like revenue matched the prior year and on higher profit margins, too, despite Covid-19 disruption. Importantly, the recovery is gathering pace in some areas. For instance, Poundfield, a maker of pre-cast concrete products, reported record revenue in both May and June, and CCP Building Products, a supplier of concrete blocks and aggregates, has seen demand return to normal levels. Analysts at brokerage Peel Hunt have taken note, upgrading their full-year pre-tax profit and EPS estimates by 42 per cent to £10m and 3.3p, respectively.
The acquisition of the outstanding 60 per cent interest in South Wales quarrying group G.D. Harries (GDH) is a smart move. SigmaRoc can implement operational improvements by using its quarry management and concrete expertise, source lower cost materials (especially cement), and expand the customer base eastwards towards Cardiff. Consolidation in local asphalt production looks set to continue into aggregates, thus offering scope for improved profitability within the industry. GD Harries controls around 14 per cent of asphalt production in South Wales.
SigmaRoc has bought out GDH for an enterprise valuation of £26.5m, equating to a reasonable 7.6 times annual cash profit. Factoring in GDH’s contribution, and the stronger recovery, Peel Hunt upgraded its 2021 pre-tax profit and EPS estimates by 7 per cent to £15.5m and 5p, respectively. On this basis, the shares are priced on an undemanding forward PE ratio of 10, prompting me to tweak my target from 60p to 65p, having first suggested buying, at 46p (Alpha Report: ‘A General Election winner’, 12 December 2019). Buy.
i am also very surprised KAT is worth £8mil . Kat paid into the JV less than a £1mil less than a year ago and you are telling me its now worth Millions ??
If its indeed worth so much why is our JV partner not ending the partnership as they are fully entitled to do so? Be warned!
you might lose all your investment. difficult to know when it will happen it might still go up a lot but its all manipulation
I am following GKP for years lost a lot here as well, what i find unusual lately on this bb that all of you are negative and don't expect GKP to rize again . lot of you think we might get to zero and this is after so much we suffer all this years
1) did this happened before KRG taking way from companies?
2) you are saying "SP at 0.8p old money, and we are only seen as being worth what we have at bank.
Infrastructure, ‘management’ and premises, residue of the PSC, and what could have been gleaned out of this reservoir - all worthless."
as per today rns we have about $140 mil in the bank we have 100mil Debt so cash value only 40m
) share price going up is not a proof of the worth of a company . price go up for all sort of reasons but the party will come to an end soon
but you did not answer my questions just blame me for being critical.
i have never been a holder of kibo
can some investors hear explain if they indeed have 14 bidders and everything is so rosy why is the JV company Blyvoor still talking to Katoro? Katoro had to arrange finance by the end of June 20, they did not manage so Blyvoor can keep 100% of the project for themself why share it with Katoro. looks very suspicion, add to this LC record.

Merger candidates from our coverage include: Pharos Energy#/Transglobe Energy and Gulf Keystone Petroleum#/Genel Energy. A merger between Pharos and Transglobe would create an Egypt oil-focused E&P with >£100m market cap and >20Mboe/d oil-weighted production. A Gulf Keystone/Genel combination could also create scale, improve liquidity and make the combined entity more investable than each on a standalone basis.
