but I see that DSG (well respected for fixing broken vehicles in AFG) have just been sold off for a pittance!
Was this such a bad deal?
All staff & capability remain in place as do current facilities.
Babcock have taken on a £900m contract which would have cost the MoD £1.4 billion to fulfil.
The MoD no longer has to feed and fund part of the logistics chain - thus freeing up spare cash for front line things.
Babcock have the ability and scope to develop the current DSG capabilities
and the MoD pockets £140m (that's half a P8!)
