What Sir Ron Brierley is up to these days

Brierly's and Sir 'Sellout' Cushing sent Air NZ broke, the biggest corporate loss in NZ history at the time. Just want them to stay away from the aviation industry, one implosion is enough.

Follies?!! Can't say if it is true or not,but the story goes Sir Robert Jones got a Wellington radio station on April's fools day to announce the engagement of Sir Ron to Carmen [the local drag queen].The joke was that Bruce Judge, then Brierley Investments MD thought it was for real,ran around like a flee in a fit, and tried to hush it up, threatened to sue the radio station.Sir Ron didn't seem to care,while Sir Robert laughed his head off.

I missed this one, but Sir Ron also recently became a substantial holder in Cellnet Group - CLT

With last trade at 16cents compared with Sir Ron's over 23.6cents entry price he is down over 32% which would put him 102nd in our competition.

Cellnet has just paid a 10 cent dividend so Sir Ron may be doing OK on this one.

I suspect they are very similar, just like Henchard , Sir Ron appears to be taking ever riskier decisions

Don't forget the 9 cents they paid out in early FEB 2012 as well. How did I miss this one.

Sir Ron Brierley Exits GIB 1 page 199.9KB

Gibb River Diamonds (the ‘Company’ or 'GIB') is pleased to announce that Sir Ron Brierley and his related entities are no longer a presence on the GIB share register, following the sale of his remaining shares on-market, the last of which cleared today.This is an extremely welcome development for the Seller. The involvement of Sir Ron Brierley in the Company goes back to March 2015 when he launched a hostile takeover bid for GIB. This attempted takeover was spectacularly unsuccessful, with Sir Ron failing to purchase even a single share in GIB.
Since that failed takeover attempt, a combined total of 14,485,373 shares in GIB held by Sir Ron (through his previously ASX listed vehicle Mercantile Investment Company and related entities) have been sold on-market. The Board of the Company believes this has seriously impacted our ability to finance the Blina Diamond Project.
With the final exit of Sir Ron Brierley, the Board of GIB believe the ability for the Company to promote and finance the Blina Diamond Project is greatly enhanced.

IMHO one of gods more useless individuals !!
