Retail-aggedon: TheWorks just about avoids ANOTHER profits warning but CEO walks anyway

2020-01-16 11:08:57

How different it was eighteen months ago when Investec raised £62.5 million  at 160p to IPO Theworks.co.uk (WRKS). Just think about how much coke and how many hookers you could snaffle from crony capitalist Investec’s fees on that deal! Hmmmmmm. You bring the hookers, I’ll bring the Charlie, the lads at Investec are ‘avin’ a party. Today, after just avoiding yet another profits warning, the CEO has been resigned with immediate effect and the shares are just 33.9p. Ouch.

TheWorks.co.uk (#WRKS) – H1 adj. LFL sales -1.9%, Christmas improvement but slower start to post-Christmas sale, CEO ‘steps down’

Today’s episode of Retail-aggedon – Theworks.co.uk Timber!

2019-11-07 13:22:47

This operator of 525 outlets flogging gifts, arts, crafts, toys, books and stationery raised a stonking £62.5 million at 160p, c/o crony capitalists Investec in July of last year. Just imagine the fees it earned on that deal. Coke and hookers all round. After a profits warning today shares in TheWorks (WRKS)  are just 44p and the company will pretty soon be in net debt, in fact I suspect it already is. Yikes. Cue the ShareProphets National Anthem below….
