Hey all

This might be better answered by British warriors, as I don't know how things work in other countries, how ever, all input is welcome.

I currently work for a privately owned uk company. They have been interested in floating the company for many years.

Were very viable, have a few years of profitability behind us, and have been independantly valued at around £200million

They are about to announce the floatation for early next year. The share ownership structure after floatation will around 70% board of directors, 5% CEO, 15% by one of the largest companies in the world and 10% staff.

What I want to know is what really happens after a floatation, and what are the reasons behind this sort of move. The company say they are commited to expanding thru organic growth and absorption of smaller companies (which we have done very successfully in the past)

What differences are we likely to see as regular staff
