    Would like to explore more on this -

    In 1986 Wedgwood was the subject of a hostile takeover bid from the London International Group, the owners of Royal Worcester and Spode at the time. The LIG bid was rejected by Wedgwood, but to safeguard the company’s future, its Chairman, Sir Arthur Bryan, negotiated a friendly takeover by the Irish glassware manufacturer Waterford Crystal Ltd. The takeover, which valued Wedgwood at £252.6 million, was completed in 1986 although formation of the new holding company, Waterford Wedgwood plc did not occur until 1989.
