Whittles

[winston]

I have been told by a source that EYMS is selling Whittle for £385,000 I am not willing to reveal who told me this information.

Are you saying that a sale has been agreed for £385k or the asking price is £385k?

That's the asking price..

That doesn't sound bad at all, depends what's included vehicle wise and obviously the depot isn't owned etc

will  are you sure your source info is accrute  and I know you say you will not name them , but can you just answer me this is your source from Whittles or EYMS  and is that for the whole company or is the bus side and coach side being split.  if as you say whittle is being sold for that amount has the deal been done then

I have never known an asking price as specific as that, because any company knows asking prices are guidelines and so someone then makes an offer and negotiations then settle the selling price. That is why asking prices will normally say c£400,000 not a specific figure

A friend of mine mentioned the company behind King Long could be interested, having recently taken over Bakers of Biddulph and Tates of Barnsley, I could see Whittles fitting in. Bakers have a coaching operation like Whittles, although don't believe either do Nat Ex work.

Allover blue :P

It will be interesting to see how many drivers & engineers Diamond manage to poach from Whittle's during tomorrow's KR recruitment drive. Whether Diamond get Whittle's bus business or not, I would think it is highly likely that KR's depot Pvr will expand & Diamond may well register on Whittle's remaining commercial routes to derail any sale should someone they don't want in KR be interested.
