Retention of Page[edit]

Before redirecting this page to Premier foods, please consider my opinion in leaving it stand alone, that hte company was a major player for a long time, and there is detailed history here not relevant to Premier foods.

In the interests of maintaining encylopedic content, i believe this should stand as an article of historic relevance Owain.davies 13:13, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Name of company[edit]

I've often seen the name written as Ranks Hovis McDougall, for an example, see FTSE: FTSE 100 Constituent Changes. Can anyone confirm what the correct spelling of the name is? It might mean a page move (Sloman 16:47, 23 August 2007 (UTC))[reply]

Definitely Rank not Ranks. Related to the Rank family of film and bingo fame, although always a separate business. see [1] Owain.davies 18:40, 23 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Despite the apparent certainty with which you make this statement it is unfortunately not correct. The flour milling division is (still) called Rank Hovis but the group was called Ranks Hovis McDougall (rather than Rank Hovis McDougall) until it became RHM in advance of its return to the London Stock Exchange in 2005.

Are you sure? I used to work there, and to my knowledge even before the flotation in 2005 it was Rank Hovis McDougall ClamsonJ (talk) 18:03, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is ABSOLUTELY RankS Hovis McDougall. As a previous poster wrote, it is (and always was) a separate organisation from Rank-Hovis - which is now (again) part of Hovis Limited (a joint venture between Gores Group (USA) and Premier Foods). RHM is still wholly owned by Premier Foods, and Absolutely Definitely is RANKS Hovis McDougall. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.120.16.39 (talk) 22:06, 24 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]
