One51 eyes up British waste firm

THE former IAWS co-op, One51, is thought to be nearing a takeover of the listed British waste company Augean.

One51 bought 2.35 million shares in Augean this week at a cost of nearly €5m.

In late November it spent more than €20m buying up 20% in the company, which is involved in storing and treating hazardous waste.
