More extraordinary wage inflation among the part-time fat cats who lead our major companies. Private-equity financier Norman Murray, chairman of Cairn Energy, saw his pay at the FTSE 100 explorer soar 43% last year, to £200,000 from £140,000. There is no explanation for the rise for a job that troubles Murray no more than a few days a month.
The increase came after a review by pay consultants Hewitt New Bridge Street. Given this firm advised that all the directors should get pay boosts, a grateful Cairn board was delighted to pay its fee...
* Grounds for a separate dust-up at Cairn's AGM next month is the role of Hamish Grossart, who is Cairn's £105,000-a-year (up 16%) part-time deputy chairman. Some shareholders claim any notion that Grossart can be called an “independent director” is a nonsense — Grossart has been on the Cairn board for 15 years (longer than half the executives) and been deputy chairman since 1996. Cairn says it has “thoroughly reviewed the matter” and concluded “there is no evidence that length of tenure is having an adverse impact on his independence”. A clue, however, to how touchy this is all getting is the fact that Grossart has given up the boardroom role of “senior independent director”.
