Briton's family angry at sale of Kidderminster firm

Family shareholders in a carpet firm claim they were denied their right to approve its sale to a US company, and that their investment in the business has been lost.

Brintons Carpets, of Kidderminster, was bought by the Carlyle Group earlier this week as part of a £40 million deal.

But a body representing family shareholders in the 228-year-old firm said the deal was done without their approval.
