Nineteen Canteen Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 It seems Begbies Traynor have been nominated for the 'Business Rescue of the Year award' for firms with a turnover under £20m. See the attached link. http://www.insolvencyandrescueawards.co.uk/nominations/shortlist.php A worthy nominee and deserving of recognition for reaching the pinnacle in their industry?
waggy Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 just shows you the sad state of the Bristish economy while Germany, Japan and China are handing out awards for excellence in industry and commerce we are having the Insolvency & Rescue Awards 2009, cheers Gordon!

I suspect they are an annual event and in no way dependent on an unhealthy economoy. Anyway, I'm still waiting to hear Flashman's tip.
rallyboy Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 I guess BT's swift and incident-free resolution of our little 'issue' deserves something. Months of frustrating and damaging mediocrity and then they pulled the mother of all rabbits out of a hat that they didn't even know they were wearing, give them a prize.
Clapham Saint Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 I suspect they are an annual event and in no way dependent on an unhealthy economoy. Anyway, I'm still waiting to hear Flashman's tip. Correct I guess BT's swift and incident-free resolution of our little 'issue' deserves something. Months of frustrating and damaging mediocrity and then they pulled the mother of all rabbits out of a hat that they didn't even know they were wearing, give them a prize. I wouldn't read too much into these "awards".
Lets B Avenue Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 Correct I wouldn't read too much into these "awards". Not won it yourself then?
Clapham Saint Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 Not won it yourself then? Not even nominated. Bar Stewards!

A job well done in selecting a new owner with integrity, money, talent, ambition. My only gripe is that Barclays Bank have not won an award for pulling the carpet from under Lowe and providing the conditions for future success.
Wes Tender Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 Did nobody else notice the subtle dig at Pinnacle in Nineteen's post? I think the award was given to BT for raising the club up from the lowe depths that the former board had allowed it to sink.

Wes Tender Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 paranoid Do you think so? So the award was not for excellence, nor for a great coup, efficiency, performance, etc. It was because it was a Pinnacle in their career and purely coincidental that it was also the name of the main rival bidder that ****ed up things badly and might have lost us ML.
benjii Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 Oh please, let's not have an argument on this thread. It's a silly, light-hearted, trivial thread started for a spot of fun to brighten up someone's dull afternoon.

LOL - kind of sum's up my view on the matter. Candidates for nominees must be a bit thin on the ground unless they had an award for letting companies go bust

It's a silly, light-hearted, trivial thread started for a spot of fun to brighten up someone's dull afternoon. Correct - still it would be nice to win something even if it's best rescue under £20m as oppose to a win in League 1.
Gemmel Posted 9 September, 2009 Posted 9 September, 2009 Candidates for nominees must be a bit thin on the ground unless they had an award for letting companies go bust Now theres one rupes could win; 1) Saints 2) RF Webb begging creditors not to put them in administration 3) WH Ireland, post more losses this quarter (I think it was 4 million they lost last year and share price nearly half of what it was orininally) Go rupes.....surely he has got a chance

Wes Tender Posted 10 September, 2009 Posted 10 September, 2009 Credit where it's due Wes, he did it well !! Yes, agreed, it was clever, as I said, subtle. So you don't think I was being paranoid picking up on it then?
eurosaint Posted 10 September, 2009 Posted 10 September, 2009 Yes, agreed, it was clever, as I said, subtle. So you don't think I was being paranoid picking up on it then? Paranoia is the norm on here I would suggest, so no need to consult a shrink at this stage !!

Ask someone from WH Ireland. After all, they put Begbies Traynor on their "one to watch" list 3 months before SLH plc gave them a 6 or 7 figure payday. Oh, and 5 months before Mr Barclays joined them....

National and reputable recovery specialist with a parent structure enabling external equity investment (unlike an LLP which the bulk of large recovery practitioners are) being tipped for a good year in the largest recession in living memory shocker You don't need to be Derren Brown to foresee that.

If it was so obvious, why bother putting them in a list of recommendations? As you say, hardly rocket science. Surely a good stock broker is one that gets the less obvious recommendations right? I'm now tempted to set up a forecasting company so that I can recommend breathing air to people. It's all the rage, I tell you. And what's more, no one else has spotted it...
Whitey Grandad Posted 10 September, 2009 Posted 10 September, 2009 Paranoia is the norm on here I would suggest, so no need to consult a shrink at this stage !! Who says I'm paranoid???

It's a silly, light-hearted, trivial thread started for a spot of fun to brighten up someone's dull afternoon. Are you saying that this thread actually brightened up your dull afternoon? It has brightened mine up - because I now know there are people around who actually have duller afternoons than I do.
Wes Tender Posted 10 September, 2009 Posted 10 September, 2009 Who says I'm paranoid??? He said that paranoia was the norm on here, Whitey. We all know that you're not normal.
Whitey Grandad Posted 10 September, 2009 Posted 10 September, 2009 He said that paranoia was the norm on here, Whitey. We all know that you're not normal. "There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is being not talked about."
eurosaint Posted 10 September, 2009 Posted 10 September, 2009 Who says I'm paranoid???[/QUOTE] Problem is Whitey, if you don't realise it then you probably are !! Ps. (When you see the men in white coats arriving, then you'll know for sure!!).
SFC Forever Posted 11 September, 2009 Posted 11 September, 2009 When they came for me I didn't know who they were so why should Whitey?
