Mark has the passion but I would argue there just isn’t that much work to do as we don’t have enough money to chase Uni tie up when we are paying 6 digit salaries
So Mark E needs to do these things to save Val :
1/ Raise enough money to invest . Raise more than is needed for W.C so we can attract decent SPV’s.
2/ Strengthen the BOD with Adrian ,Adam and maybe even Satu.
3/ Get our BDM and anyone else on £75k -£100k to buy stock in lieu of some salary. It’s suicidal to pay out these large salaries . There is zero delivery. Tie excessive salaries to performance . Get employees to receive stock in lieu of salary as there is no accountability .
Make these changes and this then becomes investable .
Until then you’re dependant on pp,notpot and Afzal to ramp so they can sell before any due placing (my prediction is April ,but maybe they can stretch to May ?)
Good luck all.
Good two way discussion is great.
Take care all x
