Mouchel mulls Costain’s latest offer

24 Jan 11 Mouchel, the engineering consultant and support services group, has significantly not turned down Costain’s latest takeover offer out of hand.

Mouchel’s board said that it is “actively reviewing” Costain’s offer, along with others that it says it has received. When Costain made two previous approaches, both were immediately dismissed by Mouchel’s board.

For the moment, the board is advising shareholders to take no action and Mouchel expects to finalise its new banking facilities shortly. Its main banks, Barclays, Lloyds Banking Group and RBS, remain supportive, Mouchel said.
