  • TETLEY, the world's second largest producer of tea-bags, shocked the equity markets this week by dropping its planned flotation just a few weeks after the proposal was announced and SBC Warburg Dillon Read was appointed for a transaction expected to value the company at £400m. The company's management was disappointed by the likely price of the flotation and believed the stockmarket would undervalue the group, which was acquired from Allied Donecq three years ago in a £180m management buy-out.
