Who shares wins

Article Abstract:

The recent asset swap undertaken by George Wimpey and Tarmac was on a very large scale, involving businesses worth around 600 million pounds sterling. Wimpey transferred its minerals and construction operations to Tarmac, while the latter concern transferred its housing division to Wimpey. Both companies feel that they will operate more effectively in difficult market conditions in the construction industry by divesting non-core operations.
