Melrose Industries was founded in 2003 by David Roper, Christopher Miller and Simon Peckham. In terms of business practices, the company aims to buy and turn around underperforming businesses. Melrose has acquired, and in some cases also sold numerous engineering companies, including Dynacast, McKechnie, FKI, Elster, Nortek, and GKN. Its acquisition techniques have allegedly included hostile takeover tactics;[3] Melrose has also been publicly criticised for issuing high paying performance linked incentive schemes to its top executives.[4]
