In the news this morning, a prospective takeover of beleaguered shopping centre owner intu Properties.
Following yesterday’s revelation from EG that investment giant Brookfield is preparing a bid for the group, the broadsheets also cover the potential takeover which has been months in the making, and has intu’s major shareholder John Whittaker and Saudi conglomerate Olayan Group in the mix.
Also this morning, a £100m Travelodge expansion and a £1.8bn network of science and technology centres backed by L&G.
