And today what a surprise;
New hotshot Mercers, the Slicer people,seem happy to get rid of a [gunna] CEO [I am gunna do this I am gunna do that]and replace him will a board member, who is also a Murray & Co person,yet the departing CEO stays on the board,and Tobin [who can't return phone calls] does not leave as promised,but appears to have been promoted.!!??
Is this the backroom work of Milford Asset? management???? or is it some company taking the piss??
All the time this disaster has been unfolding, people in the stainless steel frabricating sector, have been going gangbusters, supplying their wares to the wine industry and the milk production sector.
Little hope for this outfit . Some say
Could be Sins of the Forefathers.?

Perfect. Big write-downs and focus on the technology businesses, along with the core fabrication. Seems to me this is exactly what needed to happen. Come back in 9 - 18 months time. Assuming it is still here, we might have something worth investing in for the turnaround - and at the right price...

So many companies get turned around with the right management.

Looks like they are doing everything they can to survive,...... reducing cost base and focusing on just two products;..... and come out another side. good luck to them inheriting this basket case.
