BSkyB and Deloitte bosses net millions
THE senior partner of accountancy firm Deloitte, John Connolly, and the chief executive of BSkyB, John Darroch, have been awarded pay packages worth millions.
Connolly, whose firm Deloitte is the auditor of the part-nationalised Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS), grabbed an annual pay packet of £5.3m, benefiting from Deloitte’s profit-sharing scheme as the company earned £58.8m in fees from RBS in 2008.
Meanwhile, Darroch was handed a 19 per cent pay rise last year, pocketing more than £2.3m, BSkyB revealed in a US regulatory filing.
His pay increase was driven by a 22 per cent hike in his bonus, which jumped to £1,485,000 from £1,216,250 in the previous year. But he still earns less than predecessor James Murdoch.
