    I am sure it is very significant on the same product, that's why most people go to the cheapest gasoline station/garage b p & z survive but when gull moves in nearby they struggle even with those fancy free trade cappuccinos and marketing gurus. What they pay their executives less so of course .
    Also the marketing excellent that it was has been superseded by less expensive copy cats using the clean NZ image with an A 2 moo

    Jayne has really pissed our Chairman off

    Don’t think they are friends

    Story from a year ago - so who is telling fibs?

    Excerpt : " ...... there were “conflicting messages” between Ms Hrdlicka and chairman David Hearn to investors recently. Ms Hrdlicka’s message was that the “company was in investment mode ... and the investors shouldn’t be concerned about EBITDA returns because it was just purely investing for growth. Yet the chairman said that that wasn’t the case, that the company was very much wanting to deliver a strong EBITDA outcome of 30plus per cent.”

    Whatever the story Balance, Hearn stuffed up big time ...and he’s still around and big shareholders seem happy with that

    Feel sorry for new guy if he has to work for Hearn

    Not sure about big shareholders supporting him - let’s see what the new CEO comes up with in the next 6 months.

    Jayne’s interview has handed him all the ammunition he ever needed to force changes at ATM.

    3 downgrades in less than 5 months tell us that the BOD has no idea how things are really tracking in ATM.

    From the very outset I am on record as saying I think she was never a good fit.

    "Ms Hrdlicka’s claim that one of the reasons she needed to spend so much on consultants was that a2 did not have a dedicated IT person when she joined the company."

    For $33m ($26m to Bain) you can hire more than just a dedicated IT person...

    Had the right strategy though

    Jayne never stuck cord with A2 shareholders with intention to divest shares from the get go. There's no point now crying out foul and pointing all wrong things from that time. Wonder if she said same thing if sp is north of $20 taking into account that Covid never happened.

    She just needs to move on and let current management do their thing. Amongst all this Chair Mr Hearn didn't handle this saga very well from the get go.

    I think TIME"S UP FOR HEARN, sure the big boys will vote him out later this year at ASM if he's not already gone by then.

    I think they were riding that gravy train all the way up, don't really care what's going on in the back ground as long as the honey is still flowing....
    Now the ****'s hit the fan (well, more than a year ago really), I hope the BOD gets a kick in the ass, a wake up all and start cleaning up the company.
