This week's question

If your firm announced a restructure tomorrow, what would you do first?

This week Crest Nicholson's lenders extended its covenant waiver, Vistry is cutting its regions from 25 to 12, and two more subcontractors went under. In the same week, contractors with water, defence and grid work kept winning. Most people inside a business under pressure can feel it before anything is announced. If yours made the announcement tomorrow, what would you actually do first?
