18/11/2002

The luxury goods group, Mulberry, has accused its largest shareholder of making a "veiled attempt" at a full takeover, without making a formal offer.

Christina Ong, the Singaporean businesswoman whose Challice Group owns 41.5 per cent of the company, had written to the company demanding an extraordinary meeting to remove the chairman and chief executive, Roger Saul.
