Abstract: | Tarmac's chief, undaunted by huge losses , political slurs and "rent-a-mob" eco-protestors, has put the company on the road to recovery. The change in style is more than just structural. The new boss's initial attempts to downsize the company and haul authority back to central office came as a shock. Directors complained and left. "Advisers" told the press that Simms was having problems with subsidiaries that had evolved into personal fiefdoms. A measure of how he overcame the internal opposition is the number of new faces he brought in at Hilton Hall. |
