The first round of bidding for the division of the company is expected to close on Friday, in a sale that is being led by Evercore Partners. Evercore received instructions to embark on the sale during the summer, following the completion of the sale of the whole of the Brit corporation to private equity consortium, Achilles Netherlands Holdings BV, for around £888 million.
