	Unipart
		Unipart is to shed a further 20 jobs at its car parts distribution business in Cowley, as part of a reorganisation that will also result in the recruitment of 250 staff at its manufacturing division in Coventry.
		Unipart is set to take over the management of Daihatsu's UK parts and accessories business, which will include distribution to its dealers, warehousing, stock management and administration.
		Unipart, along with three development capital groups, is considering a bid for Railpart, the British Rail supplier of rolling stock spares, in a move that would take Unipart away from its core business of supplying automotive parts.

	Unipart on track for Railpart
		Unipart is one of the four shortlisted bidders for Railpart which is expected to be sold for up to £100m by the end of the year.
		Unipart's initial bid is said to have been substantially lower than the other three.
		Unipart would be able to rationalise its daily delivery network with its own and even merge its parts centres with its operations.

	Partco agrees to Unipart's £179m bid
		Unipart also said the deal gave it a platform for expansion into Europe.
		Mr Wragg, who will join the board of Unipart if the deal goes ahead, said there were few cost-cutting opportunities between the two companies, apart from head office and administrative costs.
		Unipart spokesman Frank Nigriello dismissed suggestions that the move was a defensive one in the wake of the recent loss of a long-standing contract with Rover.

	Unipart online system slashes training time - 20/Jul/2000 - ComputerWeekly.com
		Unipart believes it can cut training time for its 10,000 staff by at least 20% by allowing them to learn skills online in their place of work, rather than taking time out to travel to courses.
		A pilot study, by Unipart's precision machining business, showed staff were able to learn how to use a precision micrometer in just one hour of online training, compared to six hours needed to attend a course off-site.
		Unipart, which was unable to find suitable commercial training packages, has opted to develop its own courses.
