This page is severely out of date; for starters, since it's been bought by the chinese, it's no longer public and is not on the london stock exchange as written. The number of employees has also dropped considerably between the bits of the company sold off, people being laid off, people being recruited by competitors and lots of people simply leaving; guesstimate at about a third of the 1700 written here.

I have updated to article to indicate it was bought by the Chinese and that it is no longer listed on the London Stock Exchange. I have also removed the estimate of 1,700 employees as it was unsourced anyway. Dormskirk (talk) 16:52, 19 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
