History errors[edit]

There's something wrong with this article - I think because it relies on the history provided by the company.

The article seems correct as far as 2003 when AMEC bought it..

I'm not sure what the absolute correct answer is but:

In 2005 AMEC decides to dispose of "SPIE" http://www.amec.com/page.aspx?pointerid=b93f148eaf234f5aa00ec22d52280aee
2006 AMEC disposes of "AMEC SPIE" http://www.amec.com/page.aspx?pointerid=601ada60aafe46249bd1b9ed53588781 http://www.amec.com/page.aspx?pointerid=781b51ba38ae4aeda7ff8ec9e57d8079
Various other bits of "SPIE" were sold later http://www.business-sale.com/news/article/amec-disposes-of-remaining-stake-in-rail-systems-business-27101.html http://www.amec.com/page.aspx?pointerid=8fa5b08a7daa4498a61527ee667511be

It looks like bits of SPIE were lost between 2003-6. The employee share buy backs in 2004 and 2007 only amount to 7% of the shares - they're not the story. Also [1] mentions Schneider as an owner in from 1960s to 1997 - this should be in.

See also http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/Amec-Spie-SA-Company-History.html Following the acquisition, AMEC announced a reorganization of its European holdings, creating three independently operating subsidiaries, Amec Spie, for engineering services; Amec Rail, for its railroad operations; and Spie Batignolles - Amec Rail appears to include the company " Drouard" acquired 1989 ?

Which bits of Spie were lost/sold between 2003 and 2007 ? Imgaril (talk) 22:53, 14 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I've added a paragraph about the three divisionss, and named the two that became separate, and tried to make it clear that the current company is just the construction division. Please check.Imgaril (talk) 00:42, 15 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
