Andrew Monk sired stockmarket abomination Silverwood Brands two dollops of appalling results and shameful financial reporting processes

Listed at 40p, four an a half years ago by Andrew Monk’s VSA Capital as a company set to buy into Lush, Silverwood Brands (SLWD) has been a disgraceful abomination as this website has documented and exposed, from the start. The Lush deal turned out to be illegal and had to be reversed at great cost. Sulverwood shares now trade with a spread wide enough to drive Monk’s ego through at 5p-15p following yesterday’s long overdue results for the 18 months ended 30 June 2025 and its interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2025. It is hard to know where to start with this dog’s dinner.

Cook’s Coffee having fired Andrew Monk serves up quite atrocious (and misleading) interims

It is turning out to be a rather bad week for the egomaniac boss of VSA Capital (VSA), the, self styled, “Very Sexy Andrew” Monk. Yesterday it emerged that his firm is being sued for a Bernie by former client Silverwood Brands (SLWD) and yesterday VSA was also fired as adviser to Cook’s Coffee (COOK) which it listed on the Aquis lobster pot less than a year ago. We know that loss making VSA needs all the retainers it can get but if it had to lose one, interims from Cooks out today suggest it would probably be this one. They are dire. And misleading.

Even more Monkey Business - VSA being sued for a third of its balance sheet

Oh dear, oh dear. There’s trouble at t’mill for VSA Capital (VSA) the corporate advisory firm run by the egomaniac and self-styled Very Sexy Andrew (Monk). You cannot say that I did not warn you. It is all to do with VSA’s erstwhile client, fellow Aquis listed dog Silverwood Brands (SLWD) and its failed attempt to buy a 20% stake in cosmetics retailer Lush. Honestly you could not make this shit up.

Silverwood Brands – More Monkey business as a third of the VSA tangible balance sheet is now suspended

Oh dear, oh dear. Its more bad news for we loyal – or in my case unwitting – shareholders in VSA Capital ( Very Sexy Andrew) run by the egomaniac graduate of Oriel College Oxford (lower second in name dropping), Mr Andrew Monk. More than a third of our balance sheet is now tied up in shares which are now suspended for a reason that just does not wash. Oh dear, oh dear.

Silverwood Brands, oh dear, oh dear – more Monkey Business with the self styled Very Sexy Andrew

Shares in Silverwood Brands (SLWD) valued at 100p a pop represented about a third of the year end balance sheet of Andrew Monk’s Aquis listed VSA Capital (VSA). Yesterday just £7500 worth of shares were sold by somebody at just 25p causing the mid price to halve from 60p to 30 and so slashing the market cap by 50% to £78 million. Frankly even that valuation is nutso. It gets murkier and murkier.

Cooks Coffee Results , another truly disgraceful and pointless IPO from Andrew Monk’s VSA

I realise that he has a jet setting champagne lifestyle to support and a luxury holiday home on the Cornish Riviera to maintain, but is there any client that Andrew Monk at VSA Capital will not act for? The rule breakers and insider dealers at Caracal Gold (GCAT)? Tick. The scallywags at Silverwood Brands (SLWD)? Tick. But coffee chain Cooks (COOK) which Monkey brought to Aquis last November now takes the biscuit. It has today served up results for the year to March 31 2023, so let’s look at VSA’s forecasts from an IPO just over four months before the year end. Prepare to be shocked.

BREAKING: The £216.8m Lush scandal: Silverwood Brands – advised by Andrew Monk’s VSA Capital: has it twice breached the Companies Act

The FCA and Aquis Regulation are already investigating this scandal and so, with a hat Tip to in-house BB genius PL, I post the question as to whether on two counts, VSA Capital’s (VSA) star client Silverwood Brands (SLWD) has twice breached the Companies Act. If it has, surely VSA’s CEO Andrew “have I mentioned that I went to Oriel College Oxford, Monk needs to issue a profits warning.

Another Question for Andrew Monk about the £216.8 million Silverwood deal now under FCA scrutiny

Smug stockbroker Andrew Monk has, probably, today already several folks about his education at Oriel College Oxford but is yet to respond to the issue of him misleading the market with regard to revenue recognition re Silverwood Brands (SLWD) so here is another question for the Monkey.

Silverwood Brands muddies the water on the £216m Lush scandal – will Andrew Monk’s VSA still book its fees?

Shares in Aquis listed Silverwood Brands (SLWD) are almost untradeable. That did not stop pompous Andrew Monk boasting that his fees for Silverwood buying a stake in Lush from Silverwood’s directors for £216 million (in shares) would ensure that VSA would make a profit this year, having been loss making to the tune of almost a Bernie at the interim stage. Today there is another update from Silverwood showing what utter crap VSA has told investors.

BREAKING EXPOSE: Andrew Monk, Silverwood, VSA and Lush – that’s another fine £216 million mess you’ve got yourselves into

Andrew Monk of VSA Capital (VSA) has yet to come clean on whether anyone at his firm has been interviewed by the FCA as part of its formal enquiry into wholesale insider dealing , market abuse and investor deception at his client Caracal Gold (GCAT) but now there needs to be an enquiry into share dealing at Siverwood Brands (SLWD) and this time VSA is directly involved. This is the £216 million Lush blow up.
