SMARTPHONE APP TO RECORD SERVICING OF ILLY COFFEE MACHINES AT 4,000 LOCATIONS IN UK Crimson Tide signs three year contract with Euro Food Brands - the UK's sole distributor of illy coffee Crimson Tide is pleased to announce that it has signed a three year contract to provide its mpro Smartphone App for an initial 25 users with Euro Food Brands - the UK's appointed sole distributor of illy coffee. As such, Euro Food Brands is responsible for the maintenance of illy coffee machines at approximately 4,000 locations around the UK and using the mpro Smartphone App will ensure that this service is carried out as diligently and effectively as possible. The mpro Smartphone App is therefore being employed by Euro Food Brands' sales and service team to perform regular audits on each of these coffee machines - ultimately enhancing the illy brand for the customer and the overall experience for the consumer. The level of cleanliness of each machine-part, the temperature of the water and the grind of the coffee are but a few of the checks that the App instructs the user to carry out. Once collected on the Smartphone, all data automatically synchronises back to a web server, hosted in the cloud by Crimson Tide, where it is stored. From the hosted website, reports are automatically generated and emailed to relevant staff - thus allowing Euro Food Brands to monitor the standard of each coffee machine and to act immediately if necessary.

KWB - Excellent start - well called

Recruitment firm Harvey Nash also gets some kind words in the Times. Better-than-expected revenues in Britain and Ireland, plus exposure to the safer European economies like Sweden and Denmark mean the company is doing pretty well, in a difficult period. The US was the main weak spot but techie recruitment around Seattle is still impressive and with the shares trading on just nine times forward earnings, Tempus thinks Harvey Nash is a buy.

Tempus in the Times likes Aberdeen Asset Management. It’s grown its AUM (assets under management) figure both through deals, and latterly through organic growth and has now made it into the FTSE 100. Recent performance has been so strong (AUM: £184.7m, 9% up over the last six months) that Tempus suggests holding, then buying on weakness.

KWB1 - you could be correct but the sentence "Since the publication of the Interim Management Statement on 1 March 2012, there have been no significant changes to the Group's trading or outlook. Accordingly, the Board's expectations for the full year remain unchanged." may be taking negatively.

CLOSE PERIOD TRADING UPDATE Chemring Group PLC ("Chemring" or "the Group") today provides an update on trading as it enters the close period in respect of its interim results for the half year ended 30 April 2012.

Commenting on this news, CEO Greg Hawkins said: "This approval is an important milestone for North Mara in delivering its mine plan going forward. As we have previously communicated, our waste stripping activities had been constrained and we now look forward to being able to access the higher grade zones in the Gokona pit from the second half of this year onwards as expected."

Coverage The board of Renewable Energy Holdings (REH) announced its intention to sell the company's entire asset base and return the cash proceeds to investors in a bid to realise maximum shareholder value in a short period of time. Although currently working on its wind and wave assets in Poland and Wales, the firm felt that the current economic conditions and the drought within the capital markets made it too difficult to proceed with new developments. Add to this the depressed equity markets, which have led the group's market cap to fall some way short of the value of its projects and 25.8% shareholding in Carnegie Wave Energy, and the one-by-one sale of assets looks to be the best course of action. Renewable Energy shares surged 2.25p to 10.75p.
