How fares Rona Fairhead, now Baroness Fairhead, who parted with the BBC as chairman in 2017 ?
Her spell as a Government trade envoy ended in 2019, but in 2020 she joined RS Components as non-executive chair. There is a broadcasting connection - RS was founded in 1937 as "Radiospares". The company is being driven forward by American CEO Lindsley Ruth. In their Annual Report 2022, modestly entitled "Our Journey To Greatness", they noted revenues of £2,554m, up 26%.
Rona's fees for 2022 were £350,000, plus £3,821 taxable expenses. She also has 49,976 shares in the company, currently worth £410k. Mr Ruth earned a total package of £2.9m, and has shares worth £7.9m.
The Baroness hasn't spoken in the Lords since October 2020, but has a regular voting record. She's still on the board of Oracle, and a member of the external advisory board at McKinsey, a company with continuing contracts at the BBC.
