Construction group Carillion appears to be very keen to pursue a £3 billion merger with Balfour Beatty despite Balfour's intransigence towards a deal.
Here is a link to this morning's statement from Balfour Beatty outlining the reasons it rejected Carillion's latest proposal: http://www.investegate.co.uk/balfour-beatty-plc--bby-/rns/rejection-of-carillion-s-merger-proposal/201408110700077413O/
I wonder whether Carillion's enthusiasm for a combination with Balfour Beatty has anything do with the possibility of boardroom worries about interest from a Chinese suitor?
Well, at least that is what my sources tell me Carillion's long-term concern is: that one day a funny-named Chinese company will pitch up with an offer for the business (Carilllion that is - not Balfour Beatty).
