And in answer to your question, British companies generally have the shareholders to answer to, who like to play things safe.
This is why I hate shareholder owned companies, they hate risks, investments etc. and the company is under pressure to make more profit because the profit is split between all the shareholders. Whilst a privately owned company can have much less profit and remain successful since the profit is split by much less people.
