Edinburgh-based John Menzies Plc says it hopes that Scotland does not split from the United Kingdom as Scottish companies will have more opportunities if Britain is not split up."We don't actually think Scotland should be independent," Finance Director Paula Bell told Reuters. "We'll be so glad to get back to normal when it's all over and hopefully the voters will vote for no independence."Recent opinion polls have suggested Scottish separatists are closing the gap on their unionist rivals ahead of the Sept. 18 referendum, though a rejection of independence still looks more likely.While some Scottish firms such as Royal Bank of Scotland Group Plc are mulling options if Scotland goes it alone, Bell said John Menzies would wait till the results to decide whether it needed to change.
