Flash note: CEO leaves for health reasons

Stuart Lake, the CEO of Africa Petroleum (APCL), is stepping down for health reasons. He will be replaced by the current COO, Jens Pace. Jens has over 30 yearsâ€™ industry experience, including roles at BP (and previously Amoco), latterly as VP of exploration (North Africa). His experience in a multitude of African countries and as the COO at APCL since October 2012 means he should be well placed to take the reins from Stuart. We wish Mr Lake a swift recovery.

Update: Ophir farm-down deal complete

In December 2015, African Petroleum (APCL) announced it had entered into a farm-down agreement with Ophir Energy over its CI-513 licence area. On 10 March the transaction completed.

Update: Farm-out signed with Ophir

African Petroleum (APCL) has announced it has entered into a new PSC with Ophir Energy on its CI-513 licence area, CÃ´te dâ€™Ivoire.

This has resulted in an extension of the minimum work commitments (a well is now required within two years), adjusted fiscal terms and holding costs. The involvement of a company...

Topps Tiles - Accelerating growth through Q125

Topps Tiles (TPT) is enjoying a return to revenue growth following a very challenging FY24 due to wider macroeconomic weakness. The company’s recovery is clearly being boosted by new revenue streams from its self-help initiatives, notably from trade and online customers across all of its brands. While the macroeconomic environment remains uncertain, it is pleasing that the strategy is supporting growth. The valuation continues to look compelling, even with limited macroeconomic recovery included in management’s long-term financial goals. With the Q125 trading update, the CEO has announced his ...
