Slater Walker
Slater Walker was a British industrial conglomerate turned bank, specialising in corporate raids that got into financial difficulties in the 1970s. It shook the British banking system at the time, and had to be bailed out by the Bank of England after it was unable to refinance its debt during the secondary banking crisis of 1973-74, forcing its founder Jim Slater to quit.
==History==
In 1964, investor Jim Slater acquired control of H Lotery & Co Ltd, a £1.5m public company, which with his business partner Peter Walker - later a Conservative MP - they renamed Slater Walker Securities. The company performed what became known as corporate raids on public mainly industrial companies,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=‘Read this and weep’: lessons not learned from Slater Walker )〕 At its peak, capitalized at over £200 million, the company held deposits totalling £95m, managed £250m of funds and looked after 29,000 pensions.〔(How Harold Wilson stepped in over Slater Walker debacle )〕 It had grown to be not only a bank but also an investment and insurance empire with stakes in industrial companies. It had acquired Dutch investment bank Kempen & Co in 1972 which became it international division.
Slater Walker then changed strategy, from a corporate-conglomerate into what eventually was recognised as an unauthorised and unlicensed international investment bank, through gradually disposal of its industrial interests.
