Now here’s an intriguing fact. Northumbrian Water Group’s website has a handy biog of the chairman, Sir Derek Wanless, which mentions some of his past business positions and the fact he has been an adviser to the government. Clearly it was because there wasn’t enough space for all his glittering credentials that there is no mention of a recent high-profile position, ie a non-exec directorship on Northern Rock, where he was responsible for the audit and risk committee.
Yup. Not enough space. That will be the reason…
Arf, arf.
