We will be hosting our next Investor Forum back at Fasken Martineau, on the evening of Wednesday 29th January. You are invited to attend and meet the senior management of Stock Spirits Group, fastjet, and Thorntons.
Stock Spirits Group PLC (STCK)
Stock Spirits listed on the LSE (Full List) in late October 2013. It is a leading spirits business in Central and Eastern Europe, operating in Poland, the Czech Republic and Italy, with a portfolio of new and classic products, including vodka, vodka-based liqueurs, herbal bitters, and brandy. CFO Lesley Jackson and Investment Relations Director Andrew Mills will represent the company. We are hopeful that product sampling will be part of the presentation.
fastjet Plc (FJET)
fastjet plans to create Africa's first pan-continental low-cost airline. It commenced domestic operations in Tanzania 12 months ago and carried over 350,000 passengers in its first year. It has now expanded its network to include flights from Tanzania to both Zambia and South Africa, and has ambitious plans to expand its route map to include large parts of sub Saharan Africa in the foreseeable future.
Ed Winter, CEO and Executive Chairman, will tell the company's story.
Thorntons PLC (THT)
Thorntons has enjoyed a strong trading performance in 2013, as the company has successfully delivered on the 3 year turnaround plan introduced in June 2011 by the (then) new management team. This involved Rebalancing their retail estate and growing sales through other channels, Revitalising the Thorntons brand, and Restoring profitability.
