Been mulling over the content of yesterdays RNS and listening to the interviews of HW and KR and have come to the conclusion that PHE senior management are in complete disarray, IMO.
To lose a recently appointed CEO (6 months) after an extended recruitment period suggests that there is considerable internal conflict within the company with regard to the strategic way forward, especially after the departure of DR and TY in relative quick succession. We could speculate what/who/why there is a lack of stability e.g. personalities, method of funding going forward, some individuals pulling too many strings etc. but there will be another period without a permanent CEO.
The two interviews, considering that they were a follow up to a significant RNS were, IMO, completely vacuous with no information on the detail going forward re: Protos, Ireland, GTIC, funding of such, etc.
For a senior member of a company to use phrases as "fill me boots" for me, completely beggars belief and just makes me run for the hills regarding any type of significant investment. Those interviews, albeit undertaken with very poor questions, were a complete lost opportunity with regard to giving clarity on the future plans of PHE, not even a mention of an AGM.
PHE are now attempting to move ahead on three main fronts - Protos, Ireland, GTIC project, just where is the money coming from ? ....................Oh, let me think !!!!
Too much smoke and mirrors here for my liking, which I thought PDD, with his 29/6 update, was in the process of sorting out but something / someone scuppered his chances. Very little confidence in how PHE is being managed now and it will need a mind boggling level of clarification for my confidence to return for a long term investment. Ill keep taking the 20% trading opportunities as and when.
