Competition wins eventually but monopoly makes more money in the short term.
beamo-can you get good money out of a local government scheme? I would have thought that it was best to hang on in there.
I presumed that to do joint ventures with wildly different pay scales would be somewhat stupid but it does support the fact that joint ventures were about controlling pay scales as well as not losing your staff to a higher bidder. As I understand it Wessex closed its London office which suggests that expansion is not always easy, it appears that it now thinks that there are useful resources in Gloucestershire/Bristol. Normally in a merger would you not expect that there was a weak partner with its management putting the company forward to have its throat cut but where the directors come away with a nice little sweetener. The thing is that Wessex/oxford-Cambridge Cotswold are the products of Opus Dei and what we are watching is Opus Dei trying to stay alive based on its incestuous relationship with central government. Surprised no one has approached molas or what ever they are called now for a bit of class two exempt action
