Third time lucky for Mr Jones?
First Telemedia builds some IP and goes bung. Then Argent acquires Telemedia’s IP but later goes bung. Now Mobilis acquires Argent’s IP. Chris Jones as CEO is present at every incarnation. Is this guy determined, or what? I don’t know him or his companies (I think we’ve very briefly met once or twice at functions or conferences), so I’m in no position to answer that.

I’ve only met him once, but I used to see him regularly at some of Ponsonby’s cafes (outdoor tables) either having breakfast or lunch.

I’ve heard him speak at events and it strikes me that he would make an outstanding sales person, project champion and COO. But the investors who took a bath may now be regretting that he remained in overall control as CEO.
I doubt that he will ever raise any equity capital in this country again, which is a shame in some respects.

This company is in the process of being removed from the companies register. It’s on the register and in the January Gazette.
