Nord Anglia have just released their preliminary results (see Company News & Moves) and while these are promising, rumours of a possible takeover continue. In part, these have been fuelled by large purchases and sales of Nord Anglia scrip by companies like Goldman Sachs and Lincoln Unit Trust Managers, who recently purchased 11.73% and 10.51% respectively.
While neither may actually have any intention of making a bid, the assignment has spoken with two companies who have both run their tape measure over Nord Anglia, and they are only two of several companies rumoured to have conducted similar external due diligence during the last six months.
