It looks very much like this rumour could be true, I use to work for one of the companies taken over by Briggs and I had a feeling that the people on the front line had more idea of how to run the company than there management, engineers coming from all points on the compass and passing each other on a regular bases soon gave me that impression. But what do I know.
