I’ve been thinking about what it means if Andy takes on the role of CEO beyond the interim situation.

Firstly, from a governance perspective he would need to give up the chairman position and therefore QED would need to pivot and recruit an appropriate replacement.

Secondly, perhaps the situation is either there are no appropriate candidates for the CEO position due to progress on all projects being so far away from significant milestone that none of the applicants fancy the opportunity as the risk of personal failure is too great. Or QED have decided to cut their cloth in line with what they can afford and the cost of recruiting another hungry mouth to feed is now not feasible. Appreciate that Andy would need to be recompensed appropriately so potentially not much of a saving.

The third point is how long can QED legitimately have a joint chair and CEO? Not a great look if you are trying to do business with the established companies like MSC and Cargil and OCP

Oh come on! Let’s have a bit of critical thinking. When has anyone spoken ill of the recently departed???

I’m personally not that impressed by Andy, he appears reasonably competent but there has been a lot of criticism of Jason’s umm and arrs in presentations and Andy is as bad.

So far as interim CEO he has communicated to the shareholders once and that was to say “everything has slipped but we’re working hard and everything is on track”(I paraphrase)

Who knows what is going on behind the scenes and I hope we get something soon, but as a CEO he hasn’t impressed in the first 2 months

Of course, but that wasn’t the defining objective of the trial. So unfortunately I personally don’t think the activity seen today is related to the trial we all want to see executed

Oh look a 527k buy.

I think your metaphor is somewhat lacking as “storm” never seems to arrive. I think its probably more apt to state that we’re in the doldrums 🤣

Day follows night

The opposite of up is down

Aim is risky for investors

Sorry, I thought we were just stating the obvious to fill time🤦‍♂️

Alas, it doesn’t look like the wider market believes the rumours/ conjecture about a trial starting.

Hmmm, I do wonder if this may be down to Jason’s command of the English language. I mean he struggles to understand what “imminently” means.

Running side by side doesn’t necessarily mean simultaneously or concurrently it could mean being able to run in the same period of testing.

Let’s take this as possible progress until we get told otherwise. It’s quite nice to see a little positivity for a change. Even if SC appears to start to get carried away

Alas, it seems pretty evident that QED are not in the driver’s seat for any project.

Really is pathetic that we started this year with confidence and clear timetable of activity and everything has slipped, there isn’t anything that the leadership can point to as tangible visible progress and the market is now feeding back its view on the company’s credibility for delivering any meaningful progress.

I suspect that if it is an appropriate appointment then the market may take that as a sign that sufficient progress is being made and the share price may get a boost.

All depends on the interpretation of the appointment.

Perhaps they realised that they can’t actually afford an expensive CEO due to not being as close to commercialising as they previously thought.

Bit of a catch 22

Unlikely as the timestamp for the buy was done before the sell

No, we don’t! hottie there you go again making stuff up🤦‍♂️

We have had no news from QED. Therefore nothing has been confirmed. This is very different from assuming nothing has happened.

Admittedly it continues to be frustrating and the the performance of the senior guys in fulfilling their predictions is pathetic. But please stick to actual facts rather than continuing to make stuff up

And on the back of no news QED are currently up 11% !!!!

Actually if you receive a salary then you are employed and as such this is for providing service not services. So the employees of the company get paid for their duties executed in line with their employment contract.

I do agree that the funding model is now getting incredibly tiresome and whilst I don’t believe that QED is a lifestyle company unlike others on AIM, but it is increasingly hard to see that the only time the board appear to be happy to communicate is when money is running out. I think we are all tired of the promises of jam tomorrow and with employing a CEO then the existing funds will reduce at a faster pace, we’ll have another mouth to feed at an equivalent level or higher to Jason’s salary. So one must assume that they must be incredibly confident of achieving commercially before the funds run out. Their collective judgement is now on the line and surely failure to achieve success this time will be the end.

So come on QED, one more push!!

Sounds like a localised issue to T212. Nothing reported on London Stock Exchange

For goodness sake, don’t you lot learn. Stop engaging with imbeciles. I know it is quite hard when there is no news. But the sun is shining, go and get some vitamin D

Is then highly probable that the oem would need to schedule and establish a project to do the review which could actually be several months as projects and resources are scheduled month in advance to ensure efficiency and minimise bench time.

Highly feasible. The joint planning identified a project risk that then needed to involve the OEM.

Why do you insist on everything being black and white??? When projects start or change not everything is known

I’ve just noticed in IG that I can sell shares in QED for marginally higher than I can buy. Does this mean that the market has more demand than supply???
