History errors

There's something wrong with this article - I think because it relies on the history provided by the company.

The article seems correct as far as 2003 when AMEC bought it..

I'm not sure what the absolute correct answer is but:

• In 2005 AMEC decides to dispose of "SPIE" http://www.amec.com/page.aspx?pointerid=b93f148eaf234f5aa00ec22d52280aee
• 2006 AMEC disposes of "AMEC SPIE" http://www.amec.com/page.aspx?pointerid=601ada60aafe46249bd1b9ed53588781 http://www.amec.com/page.aspx?pointerid=781b51ba38ae4aeda7ff8ec9e57d8079
• Various other bits of "SPIE" were sold later http://www.business-sale.com/news/article/amec-disposes-of-remaining-stake-in-rail-systems-business-27101.html http://www.amec.com/page.aspx?pointerid=8fa5b08a7daa4498a61527ee667511be

It looks like bits of SPIE were lost between 2003-6. The employee share buy backs in 2004 and 2007 only amount to 7% of the shares - they're not the story. Also mentions Schneider as an owner in from 1960s to 1997 - this should be in.

Which bits of Spie were lost/sold between 2003 and 2007 ? Imgaril (talk) 22:53, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

I've added a paragraph about the three divisionss, and named the two that became separate, and tried to make it clear that the current company is just the construction division. Please check.Imgaril (talk) 00:42, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
