Unless you have dates for his position I think that may be just that the previous name "infrastrata" is still linked from when they appropriated the name of Harland and Wolff. Don't recall him ever being involved in Infa and I've been here almost as long as when they changed the name to Infrastrata from Portland Gas. Downs is listed on there as well. So....?

"23 Jul 2024 Appointment of Mr Russell Downs as a director on 19 July 2024

I would suggest forgetting billionaires as they are only after the publicity. If they were serious then the contract would have been done and dusted long ago. JW would have bitten their arms off for the contract and given himself a large bonus for his trouble. If the FSS goes ahead then that is going to tie up the capacity for a while. Who owns the sites then is the question. Riverstone have only put more money in to make sure they get more out. They have paid out for a quick re spray and a service of the vehicle before putting it up for sale at better price. Otherwise it would have been sold for scrap value.

Jones was constantly asking searching questions for a reason and for someone else, imo. Will be telling who swoops in to pick up the pieces. Contracts and all.

Sinergies. :)

Re: 17:32. I haven't phoned anyone. :)

Bit late in the day now that they have parachuted this new guy in. But last time, like it happens a lot, :), a General Meeting was "requisitioned" under section 303 of the Companies Act 2006, " members of a company have the power to require directors to call a general meeting of the company"

Can't recall the exact percentage holdings required, but I don't think it was a huge amount.

And yes, I can see the irony as that process got us Wood in the first place and without it we probably wouldn't be here discussing it.

You have to remember who told you that.

Maybe if you get Palmer on board you could then have a word with that American billionaire Flacks who wanted to buy it last month and let these two duke it out Harry Hill stylee.

Or wait and see if another billionaire turns up in September. Maybe Branson. He's got cruise ships. :)

Unfortunately I agree, Stokey. As soon as the guy was dropped in I assumed that things would go the same way as his previous "rescues", like Ted Baker. Lots of mentions of stakeholders but very little in regards to shareholders.

Same as it ever was...

When I saw board changes was hoping that they were finally done with AR and Groat. Maybe have a whip-round or go give 'em a hug if you think they may be sad or feel sorry for them. I'm obviously not in that camp.

Maybe the real reason that Katya Zotova was brought into the fold will become evident now. As the "25 years’ experience in strategy and business development, governance, investment banking and private equity." hasn't really shown to be of any use, up to now. Ringer for Riverstone was my guess.

I think that we are all very well aware that if worse comes to worse then holders will lose the money they invested. It's always the risk you take. People who feel they need to keep reminding of this fact and some that seem to take pleasure in doing, so should have a long hard look at themselves, tbh. Yes, I'll be a short of a fair few quid and with luck may at some point claw it back. It's just money and it doesn't define me. They, on the other hand, may always be found lacking and deficient in more important traits or markers in life.

Think this poster has shown their true nature before so will remain on filter with others. Their opinion is not worthy of reading, imo.

In this remake we have Russell Downs playing Rose and the shareholders as Jack. Rose survives by hogging the raft, again, and ignores Jack’s cries for help. Jack, clinging to anything that might float, gradually drifts away and sinks into oblivion. The White Star Line claim off the insurance but eventually sells the company to wealthy Australian that opens the yard up as a theme park venue. The staff are kept on to run the rides headed up by the disgraced former CEO who really only ever wanted to join the circus.

Don’t know why, but I’m reminded of Kevin Bacons character in Animal House when I read your post Chris.

“Thank you sir, may I have another …” Don’t need to go to an agm to know what a mess Wood has made of this with his manipulation of the facts and total BS. Said it many times that he was out of his depth and was only in the job because of circumstances not talent. Antithesis of the Peter Principle in action. IMO He might be making light of it now with his “gone fishing”, but I can imagine a whole army of Consuelas following his next “challenge “ if this goes the way it looks to be going.

The brass neck of the twat. Blaming everyone for his decisions.

No, you got them all. As far as I know.

Belfast Dry Dock- BDD

Belfast Building Dock-BBD

Ship Repair Quay-SRQ

Commissioning Quay- OQ

The OQ is just at the entrance to the building dock. It may be used more the berth floating the dock gates when not in place.

Anyway, good to see new arrivals, regardless.

I guess it being August now, being "full for most of the year" was technically right. Just turned out to be with the same ship. ;)

That's nice. Bit of a change of scenery for them. Should make room for all those other cruise ships that were "expected". What with it being a hive of cruise and ferry activity. Apparently.

Might as well tow around and moore it at the end of the SRQ next to HMS Caroline. The people that bought cabins could then just use it as a base to go on cruises with other companies whose ships move about a bit. :)

Main reason would be that they first need to get the 20023 books signed off to satisfy number 19 of the AIM Rules. Can't trade till that's done regardless of what is going on in the backround.

Imagine he's only there to untangle the books.

Thought the ferry was on lease.

Not involved in any side group so no confusion BT, and for my part, all in good humour. Thought that may have been obvious by the little winkie face. Other responses may remain a mystery, fwiw. :)
