PTSG is committed to health and safety. It has come up 4 times as a British safety council international safety awards winner between 2012 and 2015. It has 3 times been an ROSPA gold achievement award winner - the only company of its kind in its sector to do so.

The group now holds 75 individual accreditations and also holds the quality ISO 9001, environment ISO 1401 and H & S BS CHSAS 1801 ISO certificates. It has 220 people that service more than 100,000 buildings across the UK with 8,000 customers.

Having joined Aim in February 2015, the share price has been increasing and I believe is currently undervalued . It has just purchased Intergral Cradles Ltd for £4M.

The revenues for the first half of the year are up 40% to £11.7M
Gross profit up 27% to £2.4M
Operating profit up 30% to £2.4M
XD on 8/18/15 of 0,46p
Market Cap 71.22M

700 club gold member. Anniversary yesterday 1/10/2013. Recently returned from New York with a wish to see Wall Street for myself as a bit of a satisfying accomplishment. I first got interested in investments when I was a financial advisor for 14 years. I learned a lot & went to quite a few investment seminars. The one I remember particularly was with Fidelity. They visited the companies that they invested in and held them for a long duration in their portfolios. The other thing was with different currencies that they could buy a particular stock with and of course sell it if it was favourable with another currency. This was potentially more risky of course. It was not long before I realised that all the money from the insurance premiums had to be invested and who was doing it. We used to sell investment bonds where 5% was allowed to be taken tax free once a year on the anniversary of the policy which could run for 20 years.There was a choice of Managed, Property, or Equity to invest into. It was at this point of time that the Property fund went up 40% in less than a year. A simple comparison with the Managed and Equity funds showed the difference. I was soon taking a keen interest in unit trusts and shares, looking for things that were going up and the highest that they had been and bought them. I bought a software package with Up-data which enabled me to be much more efficient, putting stop losses in. Drummed into my head was cut your losses and sell when a stock breached the stop loss and let the profits run. Another stepping stone was to buy myself a Rolls Royce silver shadow that was chestnut brown in colour. The reasons were threefold. 1. That I could afford it. 2. The two managers for the insurance company that I was working for were called Douglas & Rolls. 3. I was still single. As well as doing the insurance business I joined an investment club in Basingstoke and became their chairman. We closed it this year sadly because of ill health with some of the members. Now I have a portfolio that I am able to take out (if & when I want to some cash) just like the insurance bonds but much more flexible. I enjoy the technology stocks and have taken profits several times from Arm Holdings which is the only share that I have held for many years now. Having just got this Stockopedia yesterday (first saw it at an investment seminar in London earlier this year) when I noticed Dart Group (DTG) so that is now in my portfolio too. I suppose you could say I am an analyst & a chartist. It was good to see my portfolio already has Globo, , Blinks, Clingen ,Dart, Wanddisco, opay,Easyjet ,LLoyds Arm Telicom Plus(which has doubled and a bit more but then started to drop so I have just sold almost half and re invested the proceeds into ASOS.) In conclusion I hold about 20 shares, and have just INCREASED my holdings in Globo about two weeks ago, and noticed someone has reduced their holding with Globo to 3%.I hope they are not still holding the poor pawnbroker shares (guess who) -40% in one day followed by further catastrophic drop. A good case for a stoploss . Join the 700 club and put some money to work I say. more »

Harrods has another contract win from PTFG as well as major contract with a 19 story block in Manchester. Sales growth is shown at 39.7% and profits estimated for 2015 has increased from £0.45M in 2014 to an estimated £3.8M this year. The momentum is showing at 94.Position in the UK 914.

Will the share price reach the £1.00 mark sometime soon? The shares are up another 5.9% today @ 94.75p so it is not far away. Last day today to secure the dividend!
Please be aware the above graph only shows from March 2015 & not a full year performance from last October.
When you see Harrods lit up for Christmas at least you know who did it for them!
