Why the merger mania?
Article Abstract:
Mowlem Chief Executive John Gains believes that it is important to focus on improving the quality of earnings and bottom line of the group's construction operations. He is also seeking to expand the group's facilities management and environmental businesses. He feels that Mowlem can no longer afford to be involved in flagship projects unless they are profitable, and that there is a need to ensure that the group only works on projects in which its contribution is fully valued. He places strong emphasis on the issue of handling risk.
