Well for starters ELP is now just P and drum solos have limited appeal (hereabouts anyway). It would need Ashton, Gardner and Dyke to revive them!Originally posted by Richard Tarleton View PostComment

They also happen to be in my personal Hall of Fame.

That's how it all "works" now and has done for some time; at least PWC's principal competitors KPMG hve four rather than a mere three initials, although I'm less than clear which owns the government or what sharehlding either might have therein...Originally posted by gradus View PostComment

Speaking as a Credit Controller of many years these firms pop up every time a customer goes into liquidation. PWC, if I remember correctly, was born out of Coopers & Lybrand. Many of these firms started as local accountancy outfits but got swallowed up in merger after merger. I see the reports they send in after a liquidation in which, by law, the Liquidator must disclose his fees. Believe me, they are eye-wateringly large and way off my pay scale.

Accountancy firms clearly increase in size and importance, at least in part. by gobbling up their competitors - which is precisely what Carillion did.Comment

Yes, this same thought occurred to me a good half hour after I'd posted my #12.Originally posted by LMcD View Post
Experience tells me that all of those suppliers hoping to get paid out of the liquidation will get precisely nothing. Once the secured creditors (banks, HMRC, wages, Utility companies, liquidators fees etc) are paid there is rarely anything left in the pot for the unsecured creditors. The 'domino effect' of those suppliers themselves failing is thus very real as the ripples spread ever further. Speaking again as a Credit Controller of 44 years, I've seen this happen a few times (especially in the 1980s) but this is one of the biggest and will pose a challenge to credit controllers everywhere in many different sectors in deciding whether to grant credit."The sound is the handwriting of the conductor" - Bernard HaitinkComment
