Bill Cockburn to head Senior Salaries Review Board

I wouldn't normally cover such news items but I know a few HotViews readers know my old friend and neighbour of over 30 years, Bill Cockburn. He was the CEO at The Post Office before moving to head WH Smith and then a term on the board of BT before starting the normal pluralist NED career.

Anyway, after Chairing the School Teachers Review Boady, from today Bill takes on the Chair of the Senior Salaries Review Body. Right now this could be described as a 'high profile' role because it covers parliamentary pay, pensions and allowances - something which has been on the front pages of the newspapers for some months. I'm sure we will hear more from Bill's 'Body' in the months to come!
