McAlpine boss 'to leave as soon as takeover finalised'

摘要

Ian Grice, the chief executive of Alfred McAlpine, will stand down immediately if Carillion's £600m takeover goes through, it is understood. The deal, which would create the UK's second largest contracting business, looks set to be confirmed within a month. The breakthrough came when McAlpine agreed to a preliminary 585p-a-share approach last week and said it would open its books for due diligence.
