IN your issue of October 25, 1980, you refer to Waste Management acquiring the share capital of Norwest Ltd, the Liverpool-based waste disposal company.
Norwest is a major part of Norwest Hoist, the civil engineering and construction group which used to be based in Liverpool. With a turnover of £200m the head office is now in London.
Your readers may have been surprised that Norwest Hoist had succumbed so quietly — Norwest and Norwaste are unconnected.
