Conversations between the directors and the trustees of the UK defined benefit pension plans failed to generate a way forward for the company and having taken extensive advice, the respective boards of Dawson International and of its principal UK trading subsidiary, Dawson International Trading Limited, and of the intermediate UK holding company, Dawson International Holdings (UK) Limited decided to call in auditing and professional services firm KPMG to run the companies.
