Lots of figures in the RNS just picked out a couple of highlights. It’s all going in the right direction. I.e. up.
I liked the fact that Steve Halbert the chairman thanked the stakeholders and more importantly the employees for their continued support and contribution to the success of the company. It’s rare these days for employees to be thanked. In my view that’s a sign of solid and committed company.
I will hold and buy on dips it’s a unique company
