Avon and Impera have filled the independent roles very well alongside the two major operators.
The best that could possibly happen is getting emergency contracts when other operators throw things in.
True but i would think GHA will acquire one or other of the wirral independents in due course.
I would have thought they might have gone further afield by now (ie First Redditch etc) but they seem to be quite apprehensive of taking anything on out of the current comfort zone.

I suspect GHA will need some time to 'digest' their recent clutch of acquisitions and consolidate before moving on.
Many businesses get into trouble by trying to grow too much too fast.
