Member Info for Newuncle

Ragnarr,

My jaw hit the floor when I saw the Govt laying £59m for a 9 month water monitoring contract, my gob was well and truely smacked. Anyone (even me) could see they got well striped for that deal, an outrageous costs imo and DVRG offering makes perfect sense as a much more commercially viable and reliable system/service. That's why I couldn't understand the lack of any new awards in early 2021 that DVRG could have scooped. Quite why the UK Govt need yet another 3 months to evaluate the DVRG solution is a question that bugs me unless they are simply ensuring it is robust/reliable enough to keep going through that period on a 24/7 basis and does actually deliver good results that make a difference over the next 90 days or so.

Good Moaning Chesh,

Interesting to see Gerry Tweeted that (shame it wasn't RNSd to make it official but that will do for me and addressed my key concern about Eurofin). Frankly I am amazed Eurofins are not involved, actually very very surprised as they are so well embedded in so many COVID solutions to the UK Govt across the whole sector. So that's good news then.

T-rat sorry if I provoked you a bit there but I was not aware of that info posted by Chesh and it's great that yet again peeps on here can see/have serious discussions (without sarcasm or abuse) and get answers to important concerns/issues/opportunities etc.

T-Rat,

Just a sample of the size of Eurofins firepower, they could crush DVRG like an ant:

RECORD RESULTS FOR EUROFINS

Eurofins posted record half-year numbers, where revenue jumped 40% to €3.3 billion and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation more than doubled (up 104%) to €1 billion, for the €20 billion valued company. That was encouraging enough but word that margins had risen from 21% to 30.3% this year saw the firm substantially raise full year guidance.

‘It appears that the pandemic will drive increasing demand for Eurofins’ services for many years to come,’ commented chief executive Gilles Martin in August.

T-Rat,

Usually trials involve more than one solution being tested so I would expect that Eurofins will be in there too so the assessors can make comparable assessments of two or more solutions before making any contract awards.

T-Rat,

You might recall that Eurofins are well in with the UK Govt for monitoring waste water for COVID 19, they had a multi million £ very short term contract (a year I think) to do it manually for multiple sites. Not good news for DVRG as they are a direct head to head competitor and a much larger better funded business imo. Being an established and successful provider to services previously would put them in a very strong position in the UK and elsewhere. This is demonstrates exactly the reason why DVRG such a frustrating business to be invested in, others just seem to be able to get in first too easily despite DVRG having first mover advantage in terms of the technical solutions, commercially we are just not in the same league as the likes of Eurofin.

Sorry the Vid,

I meant to say that I don't contribute at the same level as others, not you, apologies as that would come across all wrong.

Chesh,

Some pretty strong price action here today considering there's no actual news. Question now is are buyers committed or will they just disappear above 29p? Then again who cares about them anyway.

The Vid,

Nice post. Although I don't feel contribute at the same levels as others here.

Davy,

They could just report buy and sell trades but they prefer to use this opaque reporting system as it suits their own agendas in the murky world of market making, they won't change.

Biker,

With an MCAP of just £6m, there's plenty of headroom for growth. £6m for an international banking business, LOFL, and that's why AIM is a joke of a market.

Cheers Chesh, don't worry I won't bubble you up.

Bleedin NDAs have really been an issue haven't they.

I do hope the Chinese come through as there is so much riding on that here now.

STC, still a bit early for news on that one I think as shown by recent freebies being issued (I get why but it does still suggest early days for it to generating real cashola to be reported).

Feel for sure that when one Govt or Organisation confirm their mega order for PDs the rest will follow like Dominos (no not pizzas)...click clack click clack like a railroad track. See I can do poetry (better than OW I think) and no hint of sarcam cos I am not that superior type.

Wow paulcon gets 3 Recs in just seconds, I guess you can do that when you have paulcon1, 2,3 accounts to use for that purpose.

Oh Mr Holier than thou has spoken again. Clearly he reads our posts but feels so superior he can't respond but instead talks about us in 3rd party terms. but he ain't no Oscar Wilde.

Clearly still holding (for now at least), let's wait and see the next version of paulcon to post. Must be great to think he is so superior to others here who are at least genuine holders and have always been so.

How does the saying go:

“Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit but the highest form of intelligence,” wrote that connoisseur of wit, Oscar Wilde. Whether sarcasm is a sign of intelligence or not, communication experts typically advise us to stay away from this particular form of expression"

The use of remarks that clearly mean the opposite of what they say, made in order to hurt someone's feelings or to criticize something.

Biker,

That's what AIMs like init mate. Seller early doors, MMs drop 10%, buyers of far more shares later, MMs unmoved. Seems that's just the way it is here for now. All we can do buy the dips as you say (and I did yesterday). Feeling rather top heavy here now but confident that this company will not be recognisable compared to now at some point in 2022. Richard Shearer continues keeps making all the right moves, one day this will translate into a much, much better rating.

Moaning Chesh,

Had a bit of whine and whine yesterday, just sick of seeing these daily drops after we were all so positive following the grant news recently I just did not expect such a retrace (again). So what news you expecting to rain down on us in the next few weeks (CR excepted as Gerry said he would be personally very disappointed if it didn't happen by the end of December).

I know but it wasn't clear just what was being sent where.

3 countries with £2.2m of orders....but what for and where?

Anyway, glad you spotted that one fwiw.

Well the next RNS should clear that up then. Unless it's another RNS about

Related Party Transaction, Skin Trust Club at xxxxxxxx, PDMR Dealing, Price Monitoring Extn, Related Party Transaction
Sponsor at xxxxxxx Conference on Climate Change, Continued progress thru' Microsaic collaboration

If China deal is off or being reduced to a smaller level by the Chinese it would help explain the never ending sell off here by larger holders who always seem to have the inside track on news way before PIs see anything official via RNS>
