Sir Martin Sorrell bounces back.

Kromek Group (KMK) wins five-year contract for gamma detectors from existing medical sector customer.
OptiBiotix Health (OPTI) placing at 62p, a 6% disc. Company "has sufficient funds to deliver on existing plans. However, growing commercial interest in the Company's award winning technology and products have generated new opportunities"
Fishing Republic (FISH) FY17 terrible as expected. Pretax -£2.256m (+£0.403m). No recent trading stmt. "We are taking firm action to address the Group's disappointing performance and have made significant changes to the Group's management and organisational structure." Outlook "We therefore expect this year to be a period of transition as the new team implements and embeds further changes. While the current financial year has continued to feel the impact of very competitive market conditions, our focus remains on improving working capital efficiency and developing our online platform in terms of technology and service levels, with the benefits to come through in 2019 and beyond." So FY18 grim as well? Let's hope the changes include timely reporting. Uninvestable.
Pressure Technologies (PRES) H1 trading. Sales still slow to come in, warns FY substantially below market expectations.
Falcon Media House (FAL) plans to delist. Claims listing "incurs significant cost while presenting an obstacle to potential sources of funding."
