Richard Close Briggs Equipment CEO on way out

I have been hearing whispers that the Briggs equipment CEO mr Close is on his way out of the business, wouldn't be surprised if he was going to nacco to convince them to buy briggs, he's got history. Any one else hear he's leaving. Is this a good or bad thing for Briggs ?

That's a record even for Briggs the guy quite befor he started, whoever the Americans bring in needs to start looking at middle management, you know the kind 50k a year company cars, phones, computers etc and never seen a fork truck. Or the salesman 30k a year plus commission, car, phone, computers etc and yet to sell a truck. They have a higher turnover in salesmen then they do in equipment

Great speculation but don't bet your house on it. It's all about Al Rankin and his game plan.

I can see it the other way round. Him going to NACCO to open the way for Briggs to buy NACCO.
