8.  GO PUBLIC
1984 Expanding through new store openings and the acquisition of smaller chains,
Iceland had 81 stores by 1984, when it became a public company through one of the
most successful flotations ever seen on the London Stock Exchange. The initial
public offering of just £8 million worth of shares brought in applications with
cheques totalling over £900 million, making it an amazing 113 times
oversubscribed.
 The Dark Ages
2001 Into this management vacuum stepped new chief executive Bill Grimsey, who had built
his City reputation at the Wickes DIY chain following the departure of its previous
management team as the result of a financial scandal. Within weeks of joining Iceland, he and
his new finance director Bill Hoskins – also from Wickes – claimed to have identified massive
problems. These plunged the business into a £120 million loss after an amazing £145 million of
exceptional items – an extraordinary reversal of fortunes for a group operating in inherently
stable industries, which had recorded a profit of £32 million in the first six months of that
financial year.
 A New Beginning (Public company to private company)
In February 2005 The Big Food Group’s shareholders accepted a recommended
offer from a consortium of investors that made it a private company once more.
Shareholders received only a fraction of the value the business had enjoyed on the
stock market at its peak.
