60 percent back takeover

Last updated : 07 May 2004 By Luke Thornhill
Over the past three days we have been inviting users to tell us whether they support the latest takeover bid or not.

As Iron-Bru.net revealed on Monday, a consortium of local businessmen want to buy out the shares owned by current chairman Steve Wharton.

He dismissed the bid out of hand, but the consortium are now seeking talks with Wharton.

We had a record response, with 59.5 per cent saying they back the takeover bid and 40.5 per cent saying they do not.
