An opened secret
Article Abstract:
There are indications that changes may now be taking place at UK property concern Bilton, which has until recently failed to respond to concerns expressed by financial analysts or shareholders. The company is to close down its civil engineering and plant hire business, and has issued an external valuation of its investment portfolio. Furthermore, it has significantly reduced the pay of vice chairman and joint managing director Ron Groom. Some observers believe that more active management will obtain more value from the company's portfolio.
