SLOUGH ESTATES TO RESTRUCTURE UK CONSTRUCTION ARM
Slough Estates plc ('Slough') announces today that it is proposing to outsource
the company's UK construction activities, reflecting best practice in the
property sector. Slough's construction activities in Continental Europe and in
the USA are already outsourced.
The proposed change in the UK will be phased over a period of time, as existing
projects are completed. Certain key central functions will be retained in order
to project manage those activities which will in future be outsourced.
Ian Coull, Chief Executive of Slough Estates plc, said:
'This marks a further step in focusing the company on its core skills - on those
areas where we are best positioned to add value. It maintains our pace of change
and will further increase the competitiveness of our business'.
