Time for the new (prospective) owners of SOU to start talking to MAG about a combined approach function for SOU & BOH, which could lead to some significant cost savings benefiting both, and possibly pricing NSL out of the bidding for a SOU renewal.
Has NSL ever thought about this one with a view to making a realistic bid for BOH?
All of the SOU staff were TUPE'd in 2000 when NSL were given (not "won" as the spin doctors would have you believe) and the majority have survived to this day, less those who retired or went on to greater things within NATS.
