The second citation for the formation of Wincanton was removed:

{{cite web|url=http://www.referenceforbusiness.com/history2/98/Unigate-PLC.html|title="History of Unigate PLC"}}

I don't know anything about the quality of that page, apart from its internal consistency, and its agreement with Wincanton's own site, and the spelling of West Surrey seems more plausible (link to Guildford.) Since we don't have a highly reliable source, I think that two less reliable sources are better than one, especially as the name and foundation date for the company are not contentious per WP:Citing sources. --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 09:05, 1 May 2008 (UTC)Reply
