Lorien: big is better

Article Abstract:

Lorien is a UK management consultant which has acquired P-E International and thus become a multi-skilled consultancy operating on a global level rather than a specialist in computing. P-E brings a strong customer list though there is some concern over dependence on a contract with Ford. The company's profit is likely to be boosted to some 2.6 million pounds through the acquisition compared with forecasts of 1.9 million prior to the acquisition. The company's shares are seen as good value for investors in Jul 1996.
