ETER Thompson, Crown Prince f the National Freight Co, is tiser but not sadder as a result f his excursion into company romotion. With disarming andour he admitted to the ress that he had been naive to elieve that the arrangements )r a consortium of lanagement and staff to buy ie NFC from the Government could be completed by this . lonth.
The legal and other problems fere far worse than he expected ut he never thought of
-wowing in the sponge. His anfidence is such that he is acking the company for 40,000 to win, though if it broke leg he would not be destitute. "If it fails I shall still have a Dot over my head but it will be a )uch smaller one than I have ow," he remarked. Anyway, ne of the "better-paid" drivers rho earn more than managers rould, I am sure, offer him a
DOM.
One of the original consortium ) make an offer for the NEC was ly old colleague, Brian Cottee, ead of information and a )rmer editor of Commercial lotor. He is also putting his loney where his mouth is and learly looks to a secure future in edford. I wish him and all the ther participants in this great xperiment unqualified success.
