PLUS Stock Exchange (PLUS-SX) announces the dates for part one of its UK retail investor roadshow series for 2011. The events provide a platform for the retail investment community to scrutinise PLUS companies at first-hand, showcasing investment opportunities in fast growing companies on the exchange among an audience of private investors, private client brokers and analysts.
Following the success of the 2010 series, PLUS-SX will visit the following cities over the next two months: Manchester, Bristol and London.
Attendees at each roadshow will have a unique opportunity to meet face-to-face with senior management of PLUS companies and question them about the companies they represent. They will be able to discuss the companies’ businesses, learn about their business strategies and plans for future growth as well as explore the equity investment opportunities they present.
PLUS-SX is home to many award winning companies that are market leaders in their industries. For example:
- Good Energy’s 100% renewable energy business has become one of the most recognised brands in the sector and was named best electricity supplier in a Which? consumer survey in March 2010. Good Energy recently posted interim results showing a 5.5% growth in revenues and a 34% increase in profit before tax, enabling the Group to pay a maiden dividend.
- Sprue Aegis recently posted growth in turnover of 108% and an increase in operating profit of 53%, translating into share price growth of 84.6%. The decision to branch out into continental European markets had a positive effect on cash flow and Sprue now supplies its fire safety products through many leading retailers, including Tesco and B&Q.
Vivienne Cassley, Senior Relationship Manager at the exchange, said: “PLUS-SX seeks to cater for the retail investor along with helping to raise the profile of companies on our market. The roadshow series brings these communities together. The popularity of our 2010 series showed the enthusiasm that investors have for UK investment opportunities and supporting local business. SMEs will continue to make a vital contribution to our economy.”
Part one of the 2011 PLUS-SX roadshow series will be held in May and June, between 12.00 and 14.30 in:
Manchester - Thursday 19th May 2011, The Radisson Edwardian Free Trade Hall
Bristol - Thursday 26th May 2011, The Bristol Hotel on Prince Street
London - Thursday 16th June 2011, Hyatt Regency London - The Churchill
