It is becoming very clear that Bacon’s lack of profitability was down to the fact that they were paying way over the odds for services, often services procured by or from BA. I have heard of a factor of four in some instances. As an example, when BAR was merged into Bacon, BAR Handling (BHX) was spun off as yet another subsidiary. Not surprisingly, it instantly achieved an operating margin of 10% by selling services to its one and only customer – BA Connect. It’s two directors also happened to be directors of BA Con. Bonuses all round boys…
BALPA needs to be very careful about how it manages the CC situation whatever happens.
Sounds very familiar.
MAN was run down by BA, citing "costs".
Cargo was ditched and replaced by Doomwoodys, and guess who happens to be on the board of that company...........
Kevin Hatton's wife.
As a famous man once said, "Make of that what you will........"
BA is rotten from the core, I wouldn't be surprised to see Burkwood involved with OS at some point.
