The latest Investing Matters Podcast episode featuring Jeremy Skillington, CEO of Poolbeg Pharma has just been released. Listen here.
Now would be a great time for the RNLI to loosen the purse strings on their recent framework agreement........let's see some maintenance contracts.

A perfect start to the new year. If Russia redirects gas supplies east away from Europe, I see no alternative for UK gov but to immediately increase gas storage. First in line has got to be Islandmagee. Thank you Mr Putin!

Tonyh1975. I don't mind if foreign firms come to invest/build in the UK as long as the gov makes them use the local supply chain. Encouraging news that Tata steel will now be manufacturing major infrastructure for dogger bank windfarm......roll on news for tieups with H&W.

Jabido. Looking at the developing and dire gas supply situation the any judicial review is going to face an uphill battle......

Pokerchips. I suspect a Chinese boat purchase or donation is no longer on the table......
Around 90% of Ghana’s industrial fishing trawlers are owned by Chinese corporations despite foreign ownership or control being illegal, investigations by EJF have shown. The lack of transparency allows these operators to set up opaque corporate structures and work through Ghanaian ‘front’ companies to obtain licences to fish.
This means that Ghana is losing out on up to 23.7 million US dollars every year in revenue.

I read in another related article the minister responsible for the issue stated the new patrol boats would be "in the water" by end of 2022.
JW mentions "delivering shareholder value", I will make it my personal mission to wash his mouth out with soap! Feeling so conned here.
Roly, I'm noticing a striking similarity in the MO and recent consequences of JW and BJ the PM. Perhaps JW acquired BJ's skills when he visited Appledore?
Once trust is lost only a huge effort or contract can possibly salvage anything for the once loyal followers!
Harland and Wolff careers evening:
As Harland & Wolff looks to ramp up for upcoming projects, we are delighted to welcome prospective employees along to our careers evenings.
With Bab ******* launching their recruitment drive for years of confirmed Mod contracts where would the smart marine oriented craftsmen be looking.....hmm?

I am concerned, as I imagine all LTH's are, that Islandmagee gas storage, formerly the flagship project is now the last mentioned in the Nov 8th update RNS. Having just secured the ML I expected JW would be all over this, having prepared the stakeholder / financing groundwork in anticipation of the expected award, as JW constantly reminded us. Yet it seems to have disappeared into the long grass. This should be raised forcefully by anyone attending the GM later this week.
Chitta......it lets the BOD see how badly their antics have dented their shareholders, both long and short term, confidence. The question is, do they care?
Sorry, typo - Si_derman @7.20pm Friday.
I'm sure JW will easily excuse the typing error:
RNLI Fleet of boats will become boats of the RNLI fleet!!
Roly. I think this posting from Si_derman @7.10pm Friday kicked things off......

Iamsailing. Count me in.
Loose goose. I'd be interested to view the screenshot after missing the online presentation.
Dawski. It's to late in the day for your meagre attempt at damage control.

Ivans. Current H&W job posting below is obvious evidence of possible tie-up with Navantia for large defence contracts:

Sorry Stokey............the reason being Warren Buffet has spotted our immense potential value and will be buying us out!!
Radders, if Dawski's prediction comes true I'll be buying him a straw hat to replace all those he's eaten!
Stokey.....I'll bite. Seeing my 24th Dec SP prediction has been too pessimistic @28.5, I'm now swinging the other way - 2022 earnings will be 1 billion!!!
From the article it seemed Appledore were in the running but now confirmed that, due to old craft design, Babs will proceed to build in Scotland.
