Minimising the risks
Article Abstract:
Sutcliffe Catering, the second-largest contract caterer in the UK, was purchased suddenly by Granada in Mar 1993, having been sold by P and O without any warning to its staff. There was considerable initial concern about the deal, but Granada managed the process very carefully. The experiences of this takeover, particularly the lack of communication with staff, allowed Sutcliffe to handle its purchase of Forward Civil Service Catering in Feb 1994 much more effectively.
