Truman's Brick Lane brewery in Stepney
Jul. 07, 1971 - THE WATNEY TAKEOVER BID FACES STRIKE THREAT: Directors of Truman Hanbury Buxton, the London Brewing group at the centre of a fierce takeover battle, expect to decide today which of two rival bids they will except. Yesterday saw a declaration by Truman workers of support for Grand Metropolitan Hotels 34-million offer. They are worried about warnings that if its rival bidder Watney ManN, gets control, up to a quarter of the employees will be made redundant during the next five years. More than 200 workers at Truman's Stepney brewery stopped work for nearly an hour to discuss the situation.
