Rentokil says 'bye' to bolt-ons
Article Abstract:
Environmental services concern Rentokil has made 81 bolt-on acquisitions in the 1990s, many of which were very inexpensive. Its recent 1.8 billion pounds sterling hostile bid for industrial services concern BET is a dramatic departure from this strategy. If it makes a successful acquisition, it will see its turnover triple. It has denied claims that its operations overlap very closely with those of BET.
