I see what you did there Phil. Aren't you clever.

I think the podcast was quite measured from our 'hardworking and handsome' CEO.
Great to clear up the Tema contract situation.
I would not be surprised to see another million quid's worth of tech contracts land between now and the AGM. And once Sierra Leone reopens and we can crack on with meeting in KSA, then we'll be set to rocket.

Oops! Thanks. Must learn to read.

yrabsmurruc, the muted reaction is no doubt a consequence of the history. We need some more flesh on the bones but it really feels like there is progress. The investor webinar on 23 June should be very interesting. Covid certainly presents an opportunity for a company like this to expand its reach and customer base (even for the most inept sales agent). I firmly believe we'll reach a tipping point and suddenly we'll be off to the races. 23 June might be it.

Seems some people trying to find the negative in that RNS (Reach or otherwise) but I don't see it.
Menzies and Air France are trialling our systems. No one claiming it is a contract.
But if...IF...Menzies or Air France see any potential in the system then the POTENTIAL here is HUGE given the scale of each organisation's operations.
And, lest we forget, in the current climate they are unlikely to be trialling the system on a whim. An approach like this is now a 'need to have'. The question is just who will supply it. And we are clearing well in the running.

Great news! And big names in Menzies Aviation and Air France.
Menzies operate in 212 airports worldwide and have over 30,000 employees. The potential here is massive.

A resounding vote of confidence. Glad he could take advantage of the SP dip yesterday. Suspect he's just in for a quick trade to make some beer money for the weekend though.

Not the greatest endorsement.

...a measured RNS but seems pretty positive. Pleasing to see that Tema volumes are not really impacted by Covid and it sounds like KSA could be huge. It does feel like the underlying business has turned a corner and now provides a very solid foundation for future growth.

Sunny, you naughty boy. Rampy McRampface. :)

I miss Tosh.

Come back to us. It’s not like Tinder can be keeping you that busy during a lockdown.

Why would you expect it to all be dealt with in a tripartite agreement? Why would we want to discuss revenue share and other liabilities between Scanport and WSG in the open with MPS? Or maybe that’s all implied. ;)

...you’d said in July that the contract would be signed and you could buy at sub nominal, there would have been an absolute stampede. When the markets normalise I think this will fly. Delighted with a little 9.4p top up today.

Happy days! Huge news and underpins the business for years to come.
A little disappointed that we didn’t announce to more fanfare. Why just title it “update” rather than “contract win” or similar.

If Tema isn’t signed by then I suspect PF will be holding the AGM behind closed doors. You know, just to be on the safe side re Coronavirus. Ahem.

...really understand all the focus on small COVID contracts today and lack of interest in Benin. First confirmed airport location we’ve been tendering for some time, a clear recent tender close date and some evidence that it’s a multi-million contract. News on this could come any day.

Obviously Benin a bit of a hot potato but this gives some idea of the value of the security contract there:

Tender closed on 28 January 2020 for security operations at Cardinal Bernadin Gantin de Cotonou International Airport so I guess our hat is in the ring and results awaited:

500,000 passengers a year.

..on tiny volumes at the moment. A little whiff of KSA news would be very welcome about now.

Welcome back sunny!
