I agree about the tender handling required. Regretably having to lay off 50 Head Office Employees at a stroke may indicate that GD is under instructions. This situation should have been avoided by GD in the first place.

a while ago scaremongering about the Mondelez contract not being renewed despite Mondelez and PFD both stating in the same article that they were very satisfied with each other!! There's too much cr*p flying around. Some of the Brokers involved are very amateurish and ungracious in their approach IMO.

but they will still be wanting to stimulate turnover and improve the trading position of the Company at the same time. I agree with Lloyd Grossman - younger consumers are not aware of him. The product requires rebranding IMO - LG Sauces (there's some synergy there) or something! They do require some new relevant Brands as well. I'd like to know what's happened to Paul Hollywood - did PFD carry out any serious Market Research prior to launch?

for a solid start tomorrow. We require more good news emanating from the Company now resulting in increased Sales Turnover for this year. GLA

are in a Messi - lol!

from McCormick last year was a surprise. Do we have more to follow?

triggering sub 40p stop losses this morning?

was too much of a discrepancy - PFD would have required north of 85p. Not sure about Nissin and what their objectives are. They are trying to shore Batchelors up and GD was very positive about the progress. Nissin's activities haven't stopped Mondelez committing to 5 years.

I thought that the content of the presentation was good. He stated that he was going to allow an hour for the proceedings. The questions were OK but I've expected some more searching ones. Bit too cosy! My view is that if the major shareholders were not happy with GD they would have engineered his exit before now. Mike Clark left because he was probably f**ked off the way the share price was being manipulated. I do feel that if Premier Foods were in the hands of another large food company they would be performing far better. With GD at the helm I do believe that we will get out of the mire but it's gonna be a long hard slog. If he does manage to give PFD some daylight and resume dividend payments the share price will rocket. IMO DYOR

I'd pull the plug out!

I thought that the presentation was pretty good. I think I'm on my own here - lol!

that the low during 2016 was 28p. We're off the floor. And the high was 60p.

GD is more up to speed now and takes advice from many quarters. I personally wish to see them achieving more bang for their bucks with their advertising campaigns. Been very poor in my opinion.

I gamble on the horses and anywhere where money is involved things are never as they seem.

I'm his minder. Share price is going down because all the Big Boys are exploiting the weakness in the PI market. PFD is capable of handling this new loan - it's far better than announcing a Rights Issue. I'll just remind everyone that one could have sold out at 60p under GD's custody (sorry custardy!) last year. This is not a Footsie 100 Company - it has multi faceted problems which all need addressing simultaneously and ARE being tackled. We'll just have to watch this space and see which way it hangs. I'm retaining my holding through hell and high water because one day we're likely to wake up to that 70p or higher share price. IMO DYOR

Have you viewed the presentation? Worth viewing. Collaboration with Mondelez and Nissin should prove positive. Market conditions have been horrendous and other Food Companies have suffered as well as PFD. Things are settling down again. McCormick's offer was predatory and derisory - it stated that it only wished for a deal which would satisfy its own shareholders. There are individuals on this board who place multi posts every day peddling the same old sh*ite and bile regarding PFD and have absolutely nothing positive to contribute. We've received positive news on pension contributions and the improved Mondelez arrangement recently. I hope that this is only the start of a stream of good news coming out from The Company to send the share price north. A Hovis Sale and putting some money in to the coffers would be a bonus.

GD's fault. He has many hats to wear within PFD. He's trying very hard and sticking in there. Sales growth very challenging in a deflationary retail market created by the Big Four. Jars of source previously being sold over £2.00 have been knocked out at a pound. Anyway it's time to move forward - things look much brighter - still plenty of new products coming through. £5 million turnover on Amaze Bites. 5.5 million cases of product exported last year. Many on this board had a chance to exit PFD last year at 60p but decided not too - we were all guilty of greed at the time. Gavin Derby who some of you constantly berate had manouevered the Company to this point. Suggest we all look towards ourselves for blame.

It has been suggested by scaremongers on this board that they might walk. They have committed for an extended period so they must be reasonably happy with PFD's position and progress.

is not for the faint hearted. It's like being tossed around in a dinghy in a ferocious sea every day until one doesn't know anything anymore. NEW INVESTORS - It'll drive you mad like the rest of us poor souls on here -lol. However 2re if this SP doesn't reach a minimum of at least 85-90p I'll be sorely disappointed. GD must have further plans in the pipeline. Mondelez arrangement last week wasn't expected by anyone - it was a bolt out of the blue. Good luck. DYO.

that the Management have promised a higher share price at any stage. ' You pays your money you takes your chance'. McCormick bid was not high enough and GD rightfully saw them off.
