It's not happened yet, but saw this in my local news....

Mr Davis is said to be in talks with Indian steel tycoon Lakshmi Mittal in a deal that would help him crystalize some of his estimated £210 million business fortune.

Von Essen is being advised by Bristol-based Grant Thornton.

Its 27-strong estate includes some of the country's most luxurious hotels, including Clivedon in Berkshire.

In Gloucestershire it owns Thornbury Castle, Lower Slaughter Manor, Buckland Manor, The Greenway and

Washbourne Court.

In Somerset The Mount Somerset, Homewood Park, Hunstrete House and Ston Easton Park, also its head office.

In Bath is owns The Royal Crescent, in Devon, Lewtrenchard Manor and in Wiltshire

Woolley Grange.

It is thought the investment would allow Von Essen to make a bid for the European division of Orient-Express Hotels, which owns Le Manoir aux Quat-Saisons in Oxfordshire.

:huh:

I'd have put a click to save the huge cut and paste, but don't know how to.
