  • Credit Crunch Throws Banking Chiefs Under the Spotlight
    DRAFT October 21 2008 Issued by Mattison Public Relations on behalf of Sweet & Maxwell Credit crunch throws banking chiefs under the spotlight ∞ Sir Stuart Rose most high profile FTSE-100 leader ∞ Former RBS CEO “Fred the Shred” takes 5th place ∞ Hedge fund bosses replace private equity chiefs as the Aunt Sally of the financial sector Financial services chiefs have become the focus of almost a quarter (23%) of all press coverage featuring FTSE-100 Chief Executives and Chairmen over the past year as the credit crunch places them firmly under the media spotlight, reveals research carried out by Sweet & Maxwell, the business information providers. (Information on banks and table of results below) According to Sweet & Maxwell prior to the credit crunch management within the financial services sector had enjoyed a far lower profile than media and retail chiefs who are generally the focus of press attention. Marks & Spencer’s Sir Stuart Rose, recently promoted to Executive Chairman, tops the table as this year’s most high profile FTSE-100 chief. Analysis of UK national and regional newspapers by Sweet & Maxwell shows that he appeared in 1,545 articles over the past year.1 The press attention received by Sir Stuart Rose has outstripped that of his high street rival Sir Philip Green, who has featured in 915 articles. Attention has centred on Marks & Spencer as the bellwether of the UK high street as the impact of the credit crunch hits its profits and share price to leave it valued at just half of Sir Philip Green’s attempted £7 billion hostile takeover in 1999.

  • Do the Super-Rich Matter? It’S the Controversy That Is Becoming Symbolic of a Wider Debate About the Future Direction of the UK
    T O UCH S T O N E PAMphLet#4 Do the Super-Rich Matter? It’s the controversy that is becoming symbolic of a wider debate about the future direction of the UK. Should we be “intensely relaxed” about the super- rich, as Peter Mandelson claimed? Or are they symptomatic of something fundamentally wrong with Britain? Do the Super-Rich Matter? forensically analyses the impact the wealthiest are having on our wellbeing. It reveals an economy increasingly skewed to serve the interests of a tiny minority and a society losing touch with a basic sense of fairness. Uniquely, Do the Super-Rich Matter? proposes a bold programme to address these worrying trends. Stewart Lansley Stewart Lansley is the author of Rich Britain, The Rise and Rise of the Super-Wealthy, Politico’s, 2006, and joint author of Top Man, How Philip Green Built His High Street Empire, Aurum, 2006. His book Londongrad, on the story of the UK-based Russian oligarchs, will be published in 2009. Acknowledgments The author is grateful to Mike Brewer of the Institute for Fiscal Studies for providing Figure 2; to John Christensen of the Tax Justice Network for the raw data for Figure 6; to Patrick Dennis of the City of London for background information on the economic importance of financial services; and to Dr Adam Curtis of the Manchester Business School and Chris Garsten of 2CG for helpful comments on an earlier draft.
