Actually there were several bidders, probably chancers after profit warning last summer: IWG, back in August of last year, rejected offers from several bidders, saying none were capable of delivering an executable transaction at a recommendable price. Bidders included Starwood Capital European Operations Ltd, Terra Firma Investments Ltd and TDR Capital LLP. More recently a lot of activity by Mr Dixon through an investment vehicle as well as considerable amounts directly for himself around the £3.40 area. The market does not appear quite so enthusiastic yet having flirted with £3.60 recently. Moves in mysterious ways!
