Several corporate predators are understood to have made informal approaches for the ailing property services group that breached some of its banking covenants last week after it announced a strategic review on Thursday.
’I can’t say that we are or that we aren’t going to bid for Erinaceous, but I will say there are more options open to us than simply breaking up the company,’ said Tchenguiz. ‘We could buy a stake in it and work on turning it around.’
He said another option is to merge one of his own companies with Erinaceous. His Consensus Business Group owns Solitaire, a residential services group, and Peverel, a retirement homes company.
We have got a lot of companies that we could merge with Erinaceous,’ said Tchenguiz. ’But we can’t know what we will do until we see the books.’
