12: Return to Rome
<div>With his children’s education to consider and, after some 5 years away, Dick feels the need to return to the UK to manage the supply side of the business. With offers coming in to buy the company, Ian completes the full circle and returns to Rome to consider all options. An underworld encounter emerges and a Mafia boss makes Ian an offer he must refuse... “Never sit with your back to the door!”. From a commercial point of view there is a straw that finally ‘breaks the camel’s back’. Our two soldiers of fortune are enticed to sell the business and return to the UK.
