Finally - Kier announces takeover of Mouchel

I'm glad to see that Kier Group has finally announced the £265 million takeover of Mouchel. Readers might recall that I broke the story late last year on Tip TV and Betaville - here is a link http://betaville123.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/banks-edge-closer-to-400-million.html - that Kier Group was in talks to buy Mouchel for a decent chunk of change.

Kier is funding the deal with a £340 million equity capital fundraising.

Back on Tip TV talking about Kier Group, big US deals and BP

Nick Batsford - aka Moose - very kindly asked me back onto Tip TV to talk about M&A. As usual, it was great fun and also a great honour - I preceded veteran City commentators such as Panmure Gordon's David Buik.
