THE annual report of logistics group Interbulk showed it paid a lower service agreement fee to Jim McColl's Clyde Blowers in 2013.
The document states the total fee for last year came in at £429,501, compared with £474,935 in 2012.
The payment is said to cover the services of finance director Scott Cunningham and Mr McColl, as well as in-house legal provision, general administration and office space.
Mr McColl's fee for being a non-executive director was steady, at £20,604 in 2013.
Mr Cunningham saw his remuneration increase from £165,076 to £186,939 thanks to his bonus more than trebling to £27,295.
The 2012 fee did include a small payment in relation to former Interbulk chairman and non-executive director Bill Thomson, who resigned in late 2011. Mr Thomson is still an operating partner at Clyde Blowers.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
