Switched on

Article Abstract:

GET supplies electrical accessories and has moved away from cable sales into electrical accessories. The company's stock price has been low which has made it difficult to carry out acquisitions, but this is changing as the company's finances improve. GET should receive compensation for a computer system which did not perform well. The company focuses on value-for-money products which should provide some protection in a recession, as should new products.

How Get got over flex price war

Article Abstract:

Get was floated in Feb 1995 and was then hit by intense price competition in the market for flexes and cables. The company issued a profit warning and was also affected by problems as a key customer, Wickes. Get has diversifed away from cables into higher-margin products. The United Kingdom housing market recovery should help the company. Get's profit for 1996 to 1997 is forecast at 1.8 million pounds sterling by Butterfield Securities.
