Thanks for posting, New chapter.

"Nigel Farage afterward was asked about the Labour Party and President Trump " He said he would act as a Broker" if required after the Foreign Secretary and Deputy Leader's comments in the past."

Yep, and Labour turned down his offer. 'Naive' at best.

"In Septemeber 2024 Keir Starmer met President Trump and Trump said he was impressed on their talks."

Make no mistake, he won't have been impressed by that absolute fool, Lammy, or Labour staff campaigning for the Democrats in this latest US election. I genuinely cannot believe the idiocy of these supposedly well educated people. The potential diplomatic car crash that was so obvious at the time has arrived. Special Relationship? I think not, at least as far as the one person that counts is concerned.

Divers-ITY is fine in my book but the only thing I will really judge any company on is 'results', as brought about through abil-ITY. Women, blokes, trans, black, white - I am not interested as long as the appointed team are doing the business, as evidenced through winning new contracts and the sole reason for me to be invested. I would currently like to hear a little more on that new business front.

"Believe in the possible" - Simpiles, let's just think about that advice ..... Much as I appreciate your posts and experience, that's got to be one of the worst inspirational quotes I've seen

😁. What next? The possible can happen? See things that exist? OR Ignore history, it's already happened?

No offence. Just amused me.

A bit harsh there, Theoldtrader. Other than those things it's all going really well ;-)

"yes I did call double top, but it wasn't absolutely confirmed when I said it around 20.30ish."

Yeah...same happened to me with the lottery numbers last night" ;-)

This is an excellent post (event) and is exactly the sort of thing we need to be doing. We need to be "out there", rubbing shoulders with those through whom mutual benefit can be brought about. 'Familiarity' can breed confidence and mutual respect too.

Wyn getting 29 upticks for a post on Avacta? (Just before 8am)......WHAT THE HELL'S HAPPENING TO US ALL, MAAAN?

Praise the Lord!!! We're all gonna be cured!

Obviously good news but early stages, guys.

........is particularly interesting from CPI's perspective, I thought.

"Online and offline marketing is On the Beach’s key outgoing, sitting at over £40mn last year. However, overheads such as CONTACT CENTRE WAGES and IT expenditure have also been rising fast."

Simon T's recent write-up in the IC. Anyone know any companies who could help reduce those "wages"?

......and so does Broomtree's.

I write as a civy.....but who's ex Hong Kong, Falklands, Bosnia, Kuwait, Brunei, Afghanistan (incl. 6 FOB's), Cyprus (Epi and Dkl), Germany (HQ BAOR and Hohne) AND......that's it! No training Regt's though :-) Don't even get a freezing rail pass either, despite the 90% of that being out on the ground!

Simpile's thinking makes sense as a lot of ex service personnel benefit through maintaing the sense of a link with the services. That also works well where the MoD's corridors of power are concerned; they like dealing with their own types and those who speak their language. It brings Capita's name further into the conversational fold and ......every little helps.

Schwee, is that a comment or a self assessment?

I read, "....via their chosen procurement route..." as being through their supplier - which could obviously include CPI. Just my opinion though.

Microsoft and Crown Commercial Service, on behalf of UK Government, have entered into a five-year agreement, providing access to enhanced value across Microsoft’s portfolio of AI-powered products and services. The agreement, which will be effective from 1 November, will enable eligible public sector organisations, via their chosen procurement route, to pursue their digital transformation and innovation ambitions,through access tocost savings on Microsoft 365, the Azure cloud platform, Business Applications, and for the first time, Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Looking ahead (Investors Chron):

Galliford currently trades on a forward-looking price/earnings multiple of 12.1 times, which places it ahead of peers.

AdamWoodman, I'll bet you get invited to all the best local parties round your way ;-)
