BREAKING: The CBI is suspending 'all policy and membership activity' until an Extraordinary General Meeting in June. The decision follows claims of serious misconduct within the business lobbying organisation. Latest: 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602 and YouTube
If one were to compile a list of some of the most prestigious blue-chip UK employers, it would probably include NatWest, BP, Shell, Aviva, the John Lewis Partnership, Virgin Media O2, WPP, Phoenix Group, BT, PwC, EY, Schroders and AstraZeneca.
It was bad enough that the CBI felt obliged to dismiss its former director-general, Tony Danker, amid allegations of workplace misconduct. Asda, accountancy giant PwC and National Grid later confirmed they had suspended all activity with the business lobby group while Lloyds Banking Group was also understood to have done the same.
A source said that alternatively it could decide not to renew its membership when it expires at the end of this year.
