              Unigroup
Unigroup, the hotel chain, has recently announced that it will close its headquarters in London as part of its attempt to reduce costs ahead of its break-up.
The group, currently fighting off a takeover bid from Rockford Investments, is keen to show shareholders it can save ￡100m as part of its defence. It is also selling hotels in London and several more in the US. Unigroup has started a programme there for making staff redundant and is considering further job cuts across Europe.
Unigroup spent Friday putting forward its arguments to shareholders. It is understood that the shareholders have asked the
company to postpone the meeting at which they will vote on Rockford’s offer. This will also give Rockford the chance to reconsider the package it is offering, parts of which were criticised by its own shareholders.
Rockford has maintained that Unigroup shareholders have given it a friendly reception, but refused to comment on its bid, currently worth 648p per share.
The battle increased last Friday when Unigroup management complained to the Takeover Board about negative comments a Rockford representative had made about the company at a press conference earlier that day. Rockford later apologised for what its representative had said. [br] It is believed Rockford will increase its bid if the current one looks likely to fail.
