BOSS WHO DODGED FIGHT

FOR a man who worked in the arms trade, De La Rue boss Martin Sutherland ( pictured) is quick to run from a fight.

The 49-year-old – formerly of BAE Systems – was ridiculed earlier this year for abandoning a campaign to win the right to print Britain’s blue post-Brexit passports.

The Oxford-educated boss, who lives in a Berkshire mansion worth an estimated £2.3m, started out as a consultant before rising through the ranks at BAE’s cyber security arm.

He took over in 2014 after it spent six months struggling to find a new chief executive, and has been paid £3.8m, including £783,000 last year.
