When Writing to Jim Payne keep in mindit is highly unlikely that he will respond.
Just doesn't get that responsible communication with shareholders could be an effective tool to earn some support and build confidence.
Neither is anyone actually charged with handling comments and enquiries as he is apparently too busy .
Over the past few years I have written to him on numerous occasions with varying intensity of remarks and a couple of times actually received a reply that for the most part was disconnected from the core of my letters.
When something of substance developed from these contacts it was without exception received from or discussed with a director.
Unfortunately, my last attempt to address something meaningful was sent to the director and he came back stating I should take it up with Jim Payne.
So, back to the circle of having no effective way to communicate.
I.e.
J.P. doesn't respond and the director no longer would or could.
Not sure which.
That doesn't mean letters etc. are simply filed in the circular bucket on the floor.
I don't think they are.
Guess I want to believe that some kind of push or nudge occurs at that end..
It is essential for shareholders to find a way to ensure that announcements, time frames , facts genuinely "Connect With Results"
