The IPO Board

[Joz]

Smith Electric Vehicles ipo in Q2. According to UK broker W.H.Ireland, newly appointed as house broker to Tanfield Group (LSE:TAN). So somewhere between 4 and 17 weeks away. Presumably preceeded by a publicity roadshow. Meanwhile the only way that a small investor can buy into it is via a stake in Tanfield Group - the UK engineering company who maintain a 27.22% stake in Smith. Tanfield's share price has climbed by a third in the last month in anticipation of the ipo, (and because of worldwide strong growth in demand for powered access platforms, which are their main business).
