Seems reasonably positive given current uncertainties. Seems to be outperforming the market. Interesting that Europe is relatively strong despite the B word.Initial positive response from the market, hope that leads to continuing share price recovery!

Thanks Otherwys, just read that and very positive views from the two brokers. Still seems a strong reaction to two broker upgrades.I suppose that it is also part of recovering what appeared to be exaggerated drops in the share price over recent months. Let's hope for a return to £7.50 plus ..... :)

Not sure what has led to sudden increase of almost 8%! Some good news on the horizon ?????

Hi A1, Put me down for 85p and Leeds going up please!!!!

Very surprising response to extremely positive results! May be a little softening in some markets, but surely still a very positive outlook and would expect to be fully on track for record FY results. Be interesting to see how much it bounces back over the next couple of weeks. Maybe a buying opportunity....

Not sure what has happened on ECM today!!!!
I switched from BDEV to TW this morning. Picked up an extra 1k shares on the switch from TW to Bdev and back. Makes me wonder if it might be worth permanently switching between the two on the run up to their big divi payouts
...... :)

Hi Bamps,
Yes, looks like a very strong update with H1 profits around £100m compared to £78m for H1 last year with growth continuing around 10%. Also dropping out of BDEV this week, probably to move to TW. disappointing rise but made around 6% and will buy back into TW lower as well.

I believe that the latest trading update is due on Thursday..... be interesting to see the trend indicated for the half year just completed. Hoping for continuing growth!

Great result for you...... I believe that there may be more to come as momentum appeared to be maintained from the first quarter update and a few rivals seem to be struggling..... ATB

I have moved out of TW to BDEV on the expectation of a rise towards divi date. Sold some TW before divi date which turned out to be by far the best option. The TW I kept in for the divi are now sold and in BDEV with the intention of selling before divi. Always a difficult choice with these shares paying big special dividends!

Very nice when you have a few taking off like that, I've had more going the other way lately. Been expecting Lloyds to take off for years now :) ... though not to those growth levels! Good luck!

Congratulations on the great return ! I believe that there is more to come over the next few years as well.
I had the opportunity at around £1.70 myself, but unfortunately didn't until much later. Still seen good progress though...

Can't believe everyone is still going on about this stuff on the day that England are playing the World Cup Semi Final...just saying ....

It remains a mystery to me why this share performs so poorly year after year.
The fundamentals are incredibly strong as a robust and well managed business and it is difficult to see anything other than a continuing aggressive rise in dividends as PPI ends. The share price must come good soon...... though I have been thinking that for several years

Never any comments on here despite being one of the best performing on the market over last couple of years?
From recent update growth continuing and a lot more potential to come this year.

Hoping so, recently bought some on the hope of �3+...... seems to be a lot of momentum and good business news?

Following the half year update in November I can only see this going higher on the promise of strong results for the full year.......

Another great week after this weeks trading update. Strong growth and good margins across the globe, it looks like the share price is only going one way for the foreseeable future.The second half should be stronger than the first so expecting a good FY result.
