Congratulations ray bet its been a hard week sorting that out.

You cheekly plumber you! The idea came up over Xmas, the deal was struck in principle in early Feb, but its taken until now to get everything done. I have never worked so hard or intensively in my whole life.

no offers to buy in then?

Employees only!

Funny you should say that. As I was parking my Hyundai outside the solicitors, I couldn't help noticing a Ferrari and a Porsche 911 parked outside. I asked the senior partner which was his, and he replied "both".

Seriously.

Think of all those bulbs you can buy next year , congratulations ray

Congratulations Ray and well done on building such a motivated and engaged team. Not many firms have that sort of loyalty amongst the staff, and it really does show when dealing with people in the firm.

I reckon an OBE for services to business might not be inconceivable...

Old Bulb Enviromentalist, is that what your saying?

In fairness, I think MickW deserves much of the credit - he's been here since 1972, I'm just a Johnny-come-lately who turned up in 1986!

I was born in 86 so must have been a good year. Well for port at least!

Congratulations to Ray, Williams & co and all that sail within her.

I take it you'll be refurbishing you're East and west wing next year! But seriously take a holiday man!

I will say this does somewhat throw a spanner in the works for appointing you chancellor of the exchequer when my uprising takes place next month!

Well done and congratulations to all the team.

Where the shares limited per employee or did you find s few really went for it?
