Company events said to be happening at the same time (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coincidence

'to be happening at the same time' is the definition.

'company events said' is the wordplay.
'company' becomes 'co' (abbreviation).
'events said' becomes 'incidence' (events = incidents which sounds like incidence).
'co'+'incidence'='COINCIDENCE'

(Other definitions for coincidence that I've seen before include "pure chance" , "Simultaneous or connected occurrence" , "Chance event" , "Fluke" , "Remarkable concurrence" .)
