Asked whether Unilever would propose unifying the company in London instead of Rotterdam, Unilever's CFO Graeme Pitkethly reportedly said “We always said we wanted to retain our Anglo-Dutch heritage, but it’s more complicated than just trying for PLC now that NV has failed ... I can’t speculate on the outcome of what is a big body of work to be done by the board. They will review it all again and see if there is an alternative way.”
