Comment: One of the essentials for small cap companies these days is to be able to rub shoulders with nationally known blue chip counterparties, something which ROAD has done today. Indeed, today’s Lidl news underlines and enhances the way shares of ROAD are up 300% YTD and are capable of much more.
