Sunday Times - Non-Executive Director Awards 2016 - Congratulations! (Sort Of ?!)


Many congratulations to 'Good Friend' of Equitable Law, Ms. Heather Love (Chairperson(?) of the Battersea Dogs & Cats Home) for her 'Runner Up' commendation in the 'Not-For Profit & Public Service Organisation' category of the Non-Executive Director Awards 2016.    


I note that the commentary with regard to the winner, the Chairman of Dementia UK, records that when he joined the board of that charity, it was 'running at a loss of nearly £500m.'

Wow!  That's a fairly shocking loss - Even for the parlous state of many current U.K. charities!

Mystery solved! - It would appear that the relevant interested parties and / or the promoters (The Sunday Times, Barclays, Peel Hunt) meant that text to read 'Five Hundred Thousand Pounds (GBP £500k)'!

What's being out by a factor of one thousand times (x 1,000) 'here and there' / 'between friends' etc.

That's one the roles NXDs are for - Spotting errors & oversight!  


All in an attempt at good-natured humour!

P.S. Does anyone know where the time since 2002 has gone?!
