Talk:A&P Group

Merger Proposal
I am proposing that the Austin & Pickersgill article be merged into this article as part of the company's history. Xtrememachineuk (talk) 00:57, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

De-Merger Needed
The merger is nonsense and completely misrepresents the history of what is now the A&P Group.

In an A&P Group context the whole of the corporate history is either wrong or irrelevant (ie relates to Austin & Pickersgill). Although it says little in detail on A&P Group's website about it's history, what it does say - "Originally founded as a centre of expertise in shipyard design and construction in 1971" - is a good starting point. The closest that Austin & Pickersgill ever was to what is now A&P Group was that they owned 50% when it was formed in 1971 as A&P-Appledore International. Both companies merit pages of their own.

There is no point in rewriting the current page - indeed, it is hardly feasible. A demerger is essential. If agreed, I am happy to attempt to disentangle and fill out the two corporate history sections (the rest splits fairly neatly as currently edited and needs little further tweaking).

 * I have stripped out the irrelevant material form this page and added the right company history. Later today I will add the relevant Austin & Pickersgill material into that article, from whence it was mostly removed when the two articles were erroneously merged.
