If one compares the Valcent published brochure from mid 2010 with the current version, the Management Team is now missing several key people who were presumably involved with the design, development and installation of what is currently the ONLY installed and operational VertiCrop at Paignton Zoo. Other published articles state that these now missing people were largely responsible for the Paignton Zoo VertiCrop system.

It may well be that new people are now on board with the necessary skills.

As an interested observer and investor these skill sets appear to be missing in the Valcent organisation. Do your own research to verify this as I have been doing for the past few years.

The vertical growing industry is a still a relatively small community globally and the people involved DO talk to each other. Whilst this "chatter" may not be based on the actual facts as they relate to specific businesses, it would be remiss of interested parties not to be aware of the general comments. After all, the world of the small investor thrives on the "hot gossip" that buzzes around the various players as can be observed on this and other boards.

I am simply a person looking to protect my investments in green technology and to identify the companies that are best placed to deliver positive returns with calculated or managed risks.

As always, so many questions and so few answers.

Valcent eu Management team Now
Looking at the eu site it would seem that David Dicks and Jo Bayley would be the likly leaders of the development as I would think you need a grower and Technical skills to make this work.
I don't care who has left as long as this team delivers and with the zoo and the large UK company there is no reason why not.
I would like to know if we are installing a unit for these trails at our expense or is it at the"companies" expense. It says a supply and service contract, That implies that we are suppliying a Verticrop to them or am I wrong ?
