Daft ...stock down 4% odd yet a lowly volume of just over a million shares !

Sorry dont know.

Sector consolidation is inevitable. What will happen to JLT share price if Willis bids for Marsh? What will Aon do?

[steve_t] 20/10/2006 08:57

I thought people on this thread would be more knowledgeable.

[j4k3] 19/10/2006 14:19

thinking of putting in a bid?

[steve_t] 19/10/2006 13:10

Slightly off topic- anyone know the latest on Heath Lambert? Is it still for sale?

[j4k3] 19/10/2006 09:54

if there are another two imminent rate rises that would be another 50bp earned on sterling deposits

[j4k3] 18/10/2006 14:04

and merger activity seems imminent. and if/when a deal happens will is spur more deals in the sector?

[j4k3] 18/10/2006 08:16

well that would clear some liabs of the b/s. and any merger activity in sector only likely to be positive for JLT IMO, the forces out there want something to happen

[plunge] 17/10/2006 21:31

I understand a fair chunk of it may be applied to the pension fund deficit

[j4k3] 17/10/2006 15:27

impressive...



Under Rush, Hero restructured, centralizing its cash management, tightening its budgetary controls, increasing the use of its central warehouse, and promoting its private-label, high margin products. The company sold off non-core, unprofitable units, taking extraordinary losses, and cut its workforce to 8,500 from 12,000. The result? Hero was one of the few Indonesian companies that continued to service its foreign currency debt during this tumultuous time. Its operating profit quintupled, and it gained market share to 32 from 25 percent, albeit from a shrunken pie. Rush left Hero in 2000, to join Dairy Farm's head office in Hong Kong. From there he was occasionally seconded to Australia to work on special projects. He became group treasurer of Dairy Farm, and, in May this year, group treasurer of Jardine Matheson.

i wonder what the chances are of Willis turning its attention here?

Willis wanted to buy marsh when its shares were in the doldrums. well JLT share price is in the doldrums - it is a quality business but the share price was £7 four years ago during which time the FTSE 250 is up about 130%.
