You're not alone if you hold CLLN. They're my worst performer as regards SP, but I'm looking at topping up in a couple of months.

Firstly, sorry to have hijacked this thread. I have a history with Carillion when I used to work at a power station in Nottinghamshire 5 years ago, and was impressed by the staff's work ethic and professionalism. Hence my interest in them in the first place. They seem to be picking up contracts regularly, so it seems just a matter of sentiment towards the sector that's the issue rather than the company. That's my take on it, and I'm not selling anytime soon.

Funny how personal experience can influence investment decisions. Carillion were responsible for installing a new boiler and radiators for my parents under the government Warmfront scheme - diabolical in every respect, from attitude and quality of workmanship to follow up and customer service (non-existent). I was so appalled at their incompetence and indifference I made a mental note to never even consider investing in them!

Hmm, thanks for your input CrytoPlankon. That's a real shame. It is a fact I guess that our personal experiences are likely to influence our investment decisions.

Morning Ian.
At least you can say you have had some experience at dealing with them. I suppose it's like any big company, there are good workers and bad ones but hopefully more of the former. I am happy to hold as like you, I am in it for the long term.

Perhaps - although I have still invested in Greene King in spite of my 18 year old working there during Uni holidays and knowing his personal hygiene habits...

Oh yuck! I was looking at them via the screener on digitallook this morning funnily enough! But just how diversified do you have to be to include them anyway? Not sure?

Yes, I also hold Diageo and thought that at a stretch they were perhaps diversified enough to warrant a holding. My thinking was that Diageo are purely branded alcohol manufacturers whereas Greene King (as well as making ales) are in the pub/restaurant/hotel trade and expanding this area with their purchase of Spirit Pub Group in 2015.

Hi again OLTB, thanks for coming back on that. As you can see I hold DGE, but it's not the highest of yielders, nor cheap, hence me looking at either GNK or maybe MARS, although the later is a bit small on the market cap size. You don't have to have everything on board, I get that, but 'sin' stocks, your fags etc, are certainly handy in a HYP I think. Yeah, I might just follow your lead re GNK in the future perhaps.
Regards,
Ian.

Thanks Ian - my DGE is an historical holding after dipping my toe into buying shares for my retirement after reading TMF's '5 shares to retire on'!! It was reading this article (a number of years ago now) that led to me committing £10k between DGE/TSCO/ULVR/NG/GSK. Wouldn't top up DGE now though for the same reason you mention - the yield is a little too low.
