Report: Break-up on agenda at Rentokil Initial

The break-up of pest control-to-security group Rentokil Initial is to be examined by the troubled company’s new chairman, it was reported today.

Brian McGowan, who took the helm following the ousting of Sir Clive Thompson last week, is said to be prepared to ask boardroom colleagues to “think the unthinkable” at the £2.7bn (€4bn)-valued group.
