    Imagine having a successful, “thriving” business and having to shut it down because nobody wanted to take it over after you retired.

      Yeah, the facts aren’t adding up here. Why wouldn’t Aardman buy them up if they were the only supplier and successful?

        Just because you are a big buyer of product X, it does not necessarily mean you are the best-suited person to run a company producing it.

          Just because you own it doesn’t mean you have to run it. Thats what CEOs are for. They often don’t own the company they run.
