Hanson Trust

Hanson plc is a British based international building materials company, headquartered in London. It is traded on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index. Before a series of demergers in the 1990s Hanson was a conglomerate with a diverse range of subsidiaries, and one of the largest British companies.
==History==
Hanson was built up by James Hanson, later Lord Hanson, and Gordon White, later Lord White of Hull, who set up Hanson Trust in 1964. 
Their policy was to purchase underperforming assets and turn them around. Hanson and White were willing to make any measures necessary to reform a business, including mass redundancies, and therefore attracted some opposition and accusations that they were "asset strippers", but they also had a successful record as long term owners, who developed highly successful businesses. In the 1970s and 1980s Hanson plc purchased assets ranging from chemical factories in the United States to electricity suppliers in the United Kingdom to gold mines in Australia. It produced cigarettes and batteries, timber and toys, golf clubs and Jacuzzis, cod liver oil capsules and cranes. 
Its most significant single purchase was probably its takeover of Imperial Tobacco Group in 1986. Hanson paid £2.5 billion for the group then undertook a major reorganisation; divestitures netted £2.3 billion, leaving Hanson with the hugely profitable tobacco business for "next to nothing." 
An attempt in 1991 to purchase Imperial Chemical Industries, once seen by many in Britain as the nation's leading company but then in decline, was highly controversial and ended in failure.
===Divestitures===
By the mid 1990s conglomerates were no longer popular with the investment community. Some of the manufacturing businesses were spun off as U.S. Industries in 1995.
In 1996 Hanson ended its time as a diversified conglomerate by breaking itself up into four separate listed companies:
*Hanson plc
*Imperial Tobacco
*The Energy Group
*Millennium Chemicals 
The core building materials companies were kept with Hanson plc, the three other businesses were sold off. Lord Hanson stepped down as chairman in December 1997. After Lord Hanson's departure the remaining non building materials businesses were sold off, and additional building materials businesses were purchased. These included Pioneer International of Australia and several U.S. companies. 
Hanson's two largest markets are the United Kingdom and the United States, and it is also active in many other countries. It is the world's leading producer of aggregates (particles of rock, gravel and sand), and a major producer of bricks and concrete pipes. In the year ended 31 December 2004 Hanson made a profit after tax of £193.6 million on turnover of £3.464 billion.

These have been good years for the asset strippers. A lot of money lying around. No new investment but a lot of buying. Buying up companies, splittlng them into bits and selling them off. Making a quick profit and enough cash to buy another company.
The Hanson Trust has been the most successful of the asset strippers. Lord Hanson and his partner, Sir Gordon White, built up a UK and US conglomerate out of a Yorkshire transport business. With the backing of insurance bosses and pension fund managers. who love speedy returns on their money. Hanson has bought up and sold off until his Trust rang up £464m In ‘86.
The firms that have been consumed turn out bricks. chemicals. Smith Corona typewriters and Ever Ready batteries as Glenda Jackson and Denholm Elliot advertlse on TV.
The most recent acquisition was the Imperial Group. Hanson has already sold off Happy Eaters to Fortes. Courage to Elders and Golden Wonder to Dalgety. This leaves Imperial's tobacco brands - Golden Virginia. John Player, Embassy - Ross frozen foods and HP sauce.

Haris Sophoclides is the multi-millionaire president of the Greek Cypriot Brotherhood. He is the owner of J&P Ltd, one of the largest property and construction firms in the Middle East. 
The Greek Cypriot Brotherhood gave over £5,000 to the Labour Party in 1997. Haris Sophoclides pledged £1,000,000 in March 1999 and acted as a conduit for Greek businessmen to make a £10,000 donation to John Prescott's "private office" before the 1997 election.
His business empire has a turnover of more than £500 million a year, building hotels, airports, hospitals and military bases all over the world. He has been a friend of the Deputy Prime Minister, John Prescott, for many years. His son, Tony has been a parliamentary researcher to John Prescott since 1994 .

Meale is MP for Mansfield, which is 140 miles from Barnet.
