• The two companies which form the Shearings group are being reunited as part of a management reorganisation, following the takeover of parent company Mecca by the Rank Organisation.
John Slatcher has become managing director of the Shearings group and is forming an executive team to amalgamate the two companies.
Shearings was split into two in July 1989 to create a holiday and hotel company and a sepa4 rate bus and coach operator.
The managing director of Shearings Coach and Bus, Ian Longworth, will become transport director in the new team, and Paul Eddlestone, managing director of Shearings Holidays and Hotels, is leaving.
The company hopes to relocate management staff to avoid any redundancies, but it is understood that there will be some redundancies when the administrative departments are rationalised shortly.
