If the new CEO is brilliant and brings back the company into profitability this share can improve.

Yes that is because the company has been having boardroom problems. Now they have a hired a new CEO who has over 20 years experience in the automobile industry.

First of all: they no longer hold the Peugeot franchise.

Secondly, this is not a place you want to put your money:

"Marshalls East Africa has hired a DT Dobie executive as its new CEO as it seeks to ideas to return to profitability after posting losses for four years in a row.

The auto dealer has hired Sanjiv Shah—the General Manager of Mercedes at DT Dobie—to take over from Rahul Sood on August 1, making him the sixth CEO in three years for the troubled auto dealer.

Infighting at the company’s boardroom pitting businessmen Kamlesh Pattni and Ketan Somaia as well as frequent changes of its executives have played a part in the motor dealer’s poor performance.

The divisions have hampered the firm’s ability to develop strategy and hire top talent in the increasingly competitive auto sector."

There is no guarantee he will last more than six months.
Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

I think ketan somaia is out & now only pattni. Not a ringing endorsement either way but hopefully it will roar again! An old & venerable name!

@ VituVingiSana - If the boardroom wrangles have been solved and KAMLESH PATTNI is on board then for sure it will start roaring sooner. We all know KP,he like to make money.

This KP guy is he not the same guy who is involved in corruption scandals? Can't the KACC come after Marshalls if the guy is found guilty?? Stay Away.

Funky I can tell that you are young, impetous and also new to the market by your posts.

Listen to Sober and the Deal. These guys are tried and tested on Wazua.

I have done my research and found that Marshall's is running like a family grocery shop. The company is laden with old Wahindis, brought from India to monitor the indigenous workers and make sure that they do not steal. The geezers do not add any value to the company and treat it as a retirement resort. The best employees have since defected to Foton and Eurysia. The new CEO may be an expert at selling luxury cars but is that the skillset required to sell the kawaida car? Never forget this last bit of advice:Kamlesh Pattni has never run a profitable business. In fact, it is doubtful whether Kamlesh Pattni has ever had a business that sold anything. Dont burn your fingers!
