Comments like this confirmed my fears . Well written Joe Aston .
"Chairman John McFarlane won’t let the striking fact that Westpac operates no meaningful business in the United Kingdom stand in the way of a field trip during the Season!" "Given the $84 billion company’s strategic direction is on the agenda, Westpac’s 10 directors will undoubtedly be joined at Claridge’s – or will it be the Savoy? – by chief executive Peter King’s 12-strong executive management committee, not to mention the company secretaries. That’s more than enough to fill two cricket teams – and yes, they probably will go to Lord’s.Or Wimbledon or Henley or Royal Ascot – one (or more) of them will be snugly adjacent to the board proceedings. Everyone should arrive early to acclimatise and, after formal business is concluded, why not tack on some annual leave? It’s too far to go for just a strategy session!" "They certainly can’t all catch the same flight over. That would breach risk management protocols and, anyway, there are only 14 first class seats on a Qantas A380."
