The emperor's new shell

Article Abstract:

Knutsford has seen a rise in its stock price, and benefits from high profile board members, including former ASDA chairman, Archie Norman. The company is a cash shell which aims to acquire companies in the real estate, leisure and retail industries. Real estate investor, Nick Leslau, is also among the board members. The extent of the stock price rise calls into question the value of the board, which may not be enough to justify the company's stock price rise, despite the board members' good track records.
