Read MoreBidders' interest wanes for Hays logistics sale
Interest has waned in Hays’ logistics operations, raising doubts about the likely success of Colin Matthews’ plans to break-up the business services group. Exel, the freight and logistics group, has dropped out of bidding for the division, estimated by analysts to be worth GBP200m-GBP300m when it was put up for sale last month. Rival Tibbett & Britten is also thought unlikely to pursue it. Meanwhile, interested parties said they thought TPG, which is believed to have cast its eye over Hays’ logistics division, was more interested in its mail business, which has yet to be put on the market.
