I've heard of both these outfits before. Warburg Pincus is private equity investment company and I'm pretty sure it has it's offices just off Piccadilly in London. I'm sure I knew a lass that worked for 'em and I've also got a recollection that they once tried to buy Liverpool FC. I think their London office is a subsidiary of their main Yank operation.

As for Bodycare, wasn't this lot in the news about two or three years ago when they tried to pull exactly the same stunt and after the outcry they reversed the decision? There may even have been a thread about it on here.
