Looking through the recent news articles that mention the company, it's incredible how much work they're picking up.
In July alone, they were appointed to work with the following companies.
- The Govt's Pension Protection Fund called FRP Advisory to scrutinise the job PwC had done previously before Laura Ashley's collapse.
- Appointed to help Debenhams restructure their business ('light-touch administation' they called it)
- Appointed as the administratiors for Prezzo.
- Appointed as administrators for:
a Balfour-owned waste JV company in Essex,
Rileys Snooker (chain of clubs),
a sports bar company with 20+ sites,
a wire manufacturing company,
2 companies who sold car parking spaces near airports,
'Heritage Cashmere' who sold luxury cashmere products.
Additionally they have been appointed for Carluccio's restaurant chain and the gym chain called Energie Fitness.
Previously they've worked for BHS, Maplin, Monsoon, Comet, Bonmarche, etc.
Investors Chronicle rate the shares as a buy @ 12p in June, because they know it's a great hedge against an economic downturn, and they're impressed by the 15% YOY revenue growth the company has enjoyed from 2010-2019. Nothing will have changed their view since then.
If anything, with the number of insolvencies now increasing, and due to increase much more over the next 6-12 months, they would be even more bullish.
Short term target = 160p+
12 month target = 200p+
