Red faces as Reuters is swallowed up

Laura Smith

Thomson has completed the [pounds sterling]8.7bn acquisition of competitor Reuters.

The deal brings the two-year process to a close with the creation of Thomson Reuters, a financial information business with 50,000 staff and operations in 93 countries.

In a statement, Thomson Reuters said that it intended to be a leading source of information for businesses and professionals in the fields of science, health, finance, law, tax and accounting, and the media.

The Financial Times said that the merged business A- one of the biggest financial information providers in the world A- would have the might to challenge Bloomberg.

Tom Glocer, the former Reuters chief executive who is believed to have won a [pounds sterling]30m payout under the deal, described the merger as a "very exciting day for our shareholders, customers and employees".
