Letts receives takeover approaches

The new owner of study guide publisher Letts today said it had received takeover approaches from a number of private equity houses.

Huveaux, which also publishes political titles such as Dods Parliamentary Companion and The House Magazine, said discussions with the interested parties were at a very early stage.

The company bought Letts Educational and Edinburgh-based revision and course note supplier Leckie & Leckie in a £12.4m (€17.8m) deal last year.
