Carillion top brass attacked

CARILLION bosses were more concerned with lining their pockets than turning around the business, MPs have been told.

At the House of Commons business and pensions committees yesterday, investor Blackrock chief Amra Balic said ‘[There was] definitely too much focus at the board level around remuneration.’

And Aberdeen Standard Investments’ global head of stewardship and ESG investing Euan Stirling said: ‘What became clear to us was that the company was going to continue on its strategy despite our questioning of that.’
