Notes:
Scholarly commissioned but short history following on from two previous monographs, by R T B Fulford. Deals with the winding up of BET's UK road passenger transport interests and its expansion of ones overseas; its developing focus on other business areas, notably plant hire (Eddison Plant Hire Ltd), laundry services (Advance Laundries Ltd and Initial Services Ltd), entertainment services (Rediffusion and television). Very briefly analyses diversification strategy. Provides schedules of subsidiary companies and a chart showing interrelationship of BET companies
