House of Fraser
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.House of Fraser's three executive directors each enjoyed significant pay increases last year though the department store group's profits halved to pounds 14m and the share price continued to under-perform. Andrew Jennings, the former managing director who was ousted earlier this year, saw his pay increase from pounds 267,000 to pounds 302,600 last year. His pay included benefits of pounds 48,437 for the use of a company car, mobile phone and accommodation in central London for his wife and family. Mr Jennings' severance pay was not disclosed in the company's annual report.
Richard Scott, finance director, and Tony Hancock, operations director, also received pay increases of between 5 and 10 per cent. Chairman Brian McGowan's pay was static at pounds 150,000.
