VAW - not just the presence of Patrick Holford but the fact that the company spent £1.1 million on advertising support to promote both his range of pills and CoQ10. That can not be looking like the smartest investment decision with the luxury of hindsight. Interims.

Marketing spend of £1.1m (2007 interim: £0.57m) supporting Patrick Holford and CoQ10 roll out...The Patrick Holford range of product continues to expand and the initial results have been encouraging...The area of the vitamins and supplements market that is suffering most from the economic climate is the independent high street retailers. We only have limited exposure to this market, and the downturn in this business is more than compensated for by the Patrick Holford brand growth. [Emphasis added.]

2p a share?

50 for a quid

Does that mean I could become a majority shareholder for the price of a good sit down curry (with a few lagers) for two people?

Oh the joys of the AGM when the board have to justify the prescence of such august advisors as Patrick Holford.

I feel an evil plan involving a whip-round, and some sharks fitted with big frikkin lasers

I'm not sure if much credence should be given to this industry-sponsored survey but passing on the link. The headline writer is obviously a 'glass half-full' type.
