If they are paying you for your work, what is the problem?

In any employment contract an employer remains your employer until either party terminates the contract.
You cannot be transferred as an employee of another company without your consent. This would constitute another contract that needs to be agreed by both parties. This is not a simple change especially if things like pension contributions are involved and the pension 'pool' is held by the new company.
Remember that a different company is a different legal entity even if that entity is owned by another. The responsibilities of that company are limited to it alone.
In the case of a 'takeover' then you should be 'invited' to resume your employment with no loss or change in the current employment details or benefits.

Check you contract of employment. You may have a clause which states they can give you any work they deem suitable. So they may be able to.
Do you really want to upset your employer and be seen as a trouble maker.
In the long term if you do not like it then go and get a new job.

its good you say your contract spells one co name.unless you want to move to that sister co,can they transfer you.otherwise the answer is no they cant make you because if that is a sibling co why haven't they put in writing as being a sister co.something is funny find out from the human resource if you think its a good career opportunity.

Ask them what the terms of the transfer will be. Is it temporary or permanent, if it is going to be permanent you need to know what your new contract will be - it may be that there is no change of T&Cs. They cannot force you to go to the new company but they may say your current post is redundant and then you will not have much choice if you want to stay with the job.

You'll need to be a bit more specific for a detailed answer, but I suspect that they, as your employer, have a right to loan you to their sister company. If they're still paying you the same and there's no problem with the sister company, I shouldn't worry about it.
