Mystery continues to surround a new company set up by a co-founder of Purplebricks.
David Shepherd set up Purplebricks with brothers Michael and Kenny Bruce. As revealed by EYE earlier, he is now heading a new venture – data led and disruptive – that is under development in Birmingham. https://www.launchb.co.uk/
Our attention was drawn to LaunchB by Michael Bruce who gave a link to it on social media. The company number on the LaunchB site leads us to new business PD Innovations, again with Shepherd as its sole director.
But now Kenny Bruce tells us – again on social media – that he is “starting a new business”. Any connection with LaunchB, perhaps?
Whatever could it be?
A new online estate agency?
A rival to Rightmove but perhaps aiming to be cheaper and with more functionality?
And if so, could it be looking for an acquisition or a merger to get agents on board?
Watch this space.
Is this what a founder of Purplebricks is getting up to now? Clue: It aims to be disruptive
Sporting Ken could of course be looking to add to his leisure portfolio . Having acquired Larne FC .He has been trotting out a few nags Only a couple of weeks ago Sporting resumed his winning ways as his Greek Zodiac got his head in front to win at Chelmsford by a cheeky half length
The horses still under the careful stewardship of “Sumo “Mick Quinn ,the legendary fatboy No 9 ex professional footballer.
Whilst on the subject of winning ways Sporting was the last Bruce to trouser £1 a share With hindsight another fortuitous move .
Axel should they wish to make a move on Bricks unfortunately under stock exchange rules will be currently prohibited of offering anything less than a £1 until 12 months time expires.
Giddyup.

June -the gloves are off .However Axel have only recently taken themselves private involving some hefty lumps of cash .So perhaps bigger fish to fry.
Maybe content to keel over and sell their stake at a huge loss and put it down to experience . Who Knows?

Any potential investor would be wise to leave their valuables at home or in a bank vault if going to a face to face meeting…
It’s been said that our late Alan Bond could charm the pants off anyone he met and convince them the world was flat if he wanted to.
Has anyone here met Alan Bond before he passed and have they also met Kenny Bruce personally?
I have, and I can tell you, they both are very similar in the way they can tell a tall story and paint a Van Gough with words.
If only they used their skills for good!
Kenny, maybe you could donate your money to charity and spend the rest of your life raising funds for good causes?
