Saga may be sold off in shake-up

Monday, 24 September 20123 min read

Over 50s tour operator Saga is likely to be sold or floated independently on the stock market as its owner looks to separate its businesses.

Accountant Ernst & Young is to look at the potential £9 billion break-up strategy which could see roadside rescue business AA, also run by Acromas, sold off or floated.

The 2007 merger of the two household names – AA and Saga – was done at the height of Britain’s buy-out frenzy by Acromas, owned by Charterhouse, CVC and Permira, reports the Telegraph.

Saga is believed to be worth between £3bn-£4bn.
