estate agents i suppose ?

or supermarkets ? because food/house/car seem to be the 3 main areas of buting i would consentrate on, oh and nice clothes. but what in 2009 is really gonna take the pennies from peeps hands ?

outsider looking in great, keep looking mr troll.

you got it all wrong.

by the way my expextation's (only from studying pdg over the 12 months daily btw ) is that we will see the resurge relaspe at a rate of about half a penny a day.

if we dont see pdg at 23p by xmas i will honestly be amazed.
long term (march 2010) this share is 50p plus but just not yet.

rns wasnt good enough guys......

re-inventing the wheel isnt needed just a non auto trade retail guru to injest a bit of hope and or direction.

Many people do leave the motor trade for other industries but many also stay and flourish and develop into professional managers going on to run highly successful businesses in terms of customer satisfaction and profitability.

Along they way they quickly learn that one of the secrets of success is their staff, both motivation and loyalty, key areas that are woefully neglected by PDG.

I know several of these professional motor trade managers who have done very well for themselves financially after starting out as humble salesmen (or women), indeed remind me didn't TF and MC themselves start out as such and despite some of the opinions on here, they haven’t done too badly for themselves have they?

Seriously, surely it was down to the sales manager to make sure he had a decent, roadworthy car to go home in. I am no fan of Pendragon having worked for them twice due to takeovers and got out quick, but even they cannot be blamed for this stupidity.

look at there staff turnover, ask the question why do so many staff leave after an average of 90 days, they all cant be rotten sales, service staff...its all about motivation, leadership, something that seems sadly lacking at the moment.
Mr Finn can stand up and give his usuall rally call to the institutions about how good things are getting, but with out troops the genrals cant win the war...Vertu. Sytner, and watch for Marshall Motor Group, they will start picking up sites and area markets that the Dragon will lose
Mr finn talking to the shareholders reminds me of a Dell Trotter saying, "this time next year we will be millionares" keep dreaming Trevor By ex pendragon ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:PDG.L&display=discussion&id=5602437&action=detail Thu, 19 Nov 2009 12:06:00 GMT ex pendragon tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.5602233 http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:PDG.L&display=discussion&id=5602233&action=detail Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:38:00 GMT Eventrollsloverocknroll tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.5602065
Seems to be holding up well today with some good size buys

It seems some ex employees on here don't like the company!! I think prospects are good.

If they are working staff harder then maybe its a good thing alot of businesses have had staff coasting for too long!

I'm sure I'll get shot down for this post!

Ps. If the story is true ref the guy in Leeds then thats wrong and i do feel for him By jarrow sparrow ]]> http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:PDG.L&display=discussion&id=5602065&action=detail Thu, 19 Nov 2009 11:14:00 GMT jarrow sparrow tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.5601863 http://www.iii.co.uk/investment/detail?code=cotn:PDG.L&display=discussion&id=5601863&action=detail Thu, 19 Nov 2009 10:46:00 GMT ex pendragon tag:iii.co.uk,2003:tst.5601623
