New recent highs now Hopefully back up to 120p soon. Meanwhile, HVN in Australia say demand has risen by 18% in the last couple of months:[link] "IT contract recruitment has increased almost 20 per cent in the past few months, with an overarching demand for “Agile” professionals, hiring experts say. High-volume demand for contracting in April and May was believed to be due to a number of new projects. Harvey Nash Australia managing director, Bridget Gray, said there had been an 18 per cent surge in demand from March to April for contract resources.“They just want people that are immediately or quickly available with the right skills that they know don’t need any ramp up so they can hit their milestones with their programs and transformations,’’ Ms Gray said. The rise in demand was happening across cloud technologies, business analysis, project/program management, UX and architecture with an overall demand for Agile practitioners across all IT functions.“Particularly on the contract side, we have had people going from about $820 a day to $1100 with the banks if they have got a bit of Agile,’’ she said. As a result of so many financial institutions dramatically scaling up their change initiatives simultaneously in 2015, rates and salary expectations are moving rapidly due to the skills shortage and peak in demand.“We have experienced IT business analysts and program management candidates with Agile experience achieving up to 20 per cent pay increases to move over the past two months,’’ she said."

Is Denso the Tier One CAP-XX are working with? In the March presentation CAP-XX said on page 14 "Global Tier-1 Automotive components company approached CAP-XX to licence a patent ? They have tabled initial offer of upfront license fee plus sliding scale royalty on sales ? Currently in active negotiation" Next to that comment they included a picture of a TOYOTA Hybrid with prominent Denso advertising. Denso Corporation (???????? Kabushiki-Gaisha Denso?) is a global automotive components manufacturer headquartered in the city of Kariya, Aichi Prefecture, Japan.[4] After becoming independent from Toyota Motors, Nippon Denso Co. Ltd. (???????? Nippon Denso Kabushiki-Gaisha?) was founded in 1949. Despite being a part of Toyota Group of companies, as of 2014, sales to Toyota Group accounts for less than 50% of the total revenue (41.2% of the revenue originate from various car manufactures in Japan, Germany, U.S. and China).[5] Since 2009, Denso is the world's biggest auto-parts manufacturer by revenue.[6] As of 2013 Denso Corporation consisted of 184 subsidiaries (68 in Japan, 34 in the Americas, 34 in Europe and 48 in Asia/Oceania) with a total of 132,276 employees.[7] The company is further escalating its global production structure by establishing manufacturing complexes in India, Mexico and Indonesia in order to accommodate further global demand for their products.[8] In 2013 Denso was listed at #242 on the Fortune 500 list with a total revenue of $43.1 billion.[9] [link] Denso have been working on Stop Start technology for a long time and supercapacitors have been mentioned as a possibility [link] Denso used to be part of Toyota and are working closely with Toyota on the TS Hybrid known to be using supercapacitors [link] "That pioneering super capacitor technology has been extensively developed, reducing weight and increasing power, leading to the 1,000PS, four-wheel-drive TS040 HYBRID which has simultaneously reduced fuel consumption by 25% compared to 2013. In the new efficiency-focused LMP1 regulations, TOYOTA technology has triumphed, with the TS040 HYBRID winning five of its eight races and taking four pole positions, 12 podium finishes and four fastest laps. DENSO inverters and hybrid motors played a pivotal part in both World Championships."

Re: Suspension to be lifted soon? Looks like something is definitely happening now - share price rising strongly. Hopefully a RNS to confirm that the ban has been lifted?
I see the subtle de rampers have done what they set out to do today, with all your AIM is a gamble business you can go away now and play with your toys.

Technology investments Hello out there,I guess if you are reading this you are interested in engineering and medical technological innovation. If so, then a look at Altran Technologies could be worthwhile. It is a French company quoted on the Paris CAC but easily investible through iii, TD and others. It has been established many years and it pays a modest dividend. It has divisions across the world, including the UK. It is involved in advanced engineering producing new patented inventions and bespoke solutions for a broad range of industries including medical, military and oil.The interesting part for the investor is its rate of growth as it is up by 250% in three years.[link] part of my portfolio is invested in technology with a particular emphasis on medical and pharma. Among my holdings are GW Pharma, BTG, Advanced Oncotherapy, and Imperial Innovations as well more established businesses such as Glaxo, Astra Zenica, and Hikma. I am currently mulling a punt in Pharma company Vectura. This part of my portfolio is a top performer albeit with some elements of risk as some of these companies are in their developmental stage.I would be interested to hear from others with an interest in this area.Cheers, frog in a tree.
