  • THE TOWN of LUTTERWORTH in the LATER MIDDLE AGES Andrew Watkins
    THE TOWN OF LUTTERWORTH IN THE LATER MIDDLE AGES Andrew Watkins In 1214 a small town was founded by the Verdons in their manor of Lutterworth. It displays many of what are now regarded as characteristic features of such settlements: with a planned layout, specialised trading areas, civic and commercial buildings, permanent shops and stalls, as well as diverse occupations. Its institutional structure based on the view of frankpledge, with a fraternal guild taking on an increasing role in the management of communal amenities by the early sixteenth century, is echoed in many similar small towns. Lutterworth was one element in an integrated network of towns and village markets across Leicestershire, Northamptonshire and Warwickshire, and it enjoyed regional links with Coventry, Leicester and Northampton, facilitating trade between the East and West Midlands. There was also a national dimension through interaction with traders from London. INTRODUCTION The late-medieval small town of Lutterworth is perhaps best known today for its association with its fourteenth-century rector, John Wyclif. He was a respected theologian in life, a heretic in death, an inspiration for Lollardy, and fondly thought by some in later centuries as the ‘morning star’ of the Reformation. Posthumously his body brought some notoriety to the town with the disinterment and desecration of his bones in 1428.1 However, late medieval Lutterworth also deserves to be known for its local prominence and role as a successful small market town in south Leicestershire. It was not a ‘new town’ created in the later middle ages as the settlement had much earlier origins.

  • The Potential Influence of Institutional Investors on Construction Organisations
    THE POTENTIAL INFLUENCE OF INSTITUTIONAL INVESTORS ON CONSTRUCTION ORGANISATIONS. James Sommerville1, Stuart Farquhason2 and Colin Campbell2. 1Department of Building & Surveying, Glasgow Caledonian University, City Campus, Glasgow, G4 0BA, UK 2 Project Management International, 10 Rothesay Place, Edinburgh, EH3 7FL, UK A small number of investment companies seem to be on the verge of prescribing the future direction of management philosophy in the UK construction industry. Prominent industrial figures have called for the industry to embrace radical change. Egan in his “Rethinking Construction” Report personifies client power, however a more cogent force is the institutional shareholders who epitomise investor power. The strength of the major shareholders is perhaps far greater than any other stakeholder in the industry. This paper considers the inter-relationships of the major shareholders in the UK construction industry with particular reference to the leading 20 contractors and materials suppliers. Detailed analysis of significant cross-border holdings found within the construction organisations major shareholders indicates the impact of such holdings and the influence upon strategic management perspectives. The nature of shareholder investment patterns suggests that changes brought about will lead to a paradigm shift in construction management philosophy and practice. Shareholder tactics may surpass single organisational survival as the underlying strategic objective, i.e. shareholders maximising the return from their investment. Keywords: shareholder, cross border holding, financial institution, change management. INTRODUCTION Construction works form an important part of the assets of the United Kingdom. Yet there has been minimal research into the ownership of the largest organisations within the industry, who tend to be Public Limited Companies (plc).
