Is Business Diary the only one with niggling doubts about her true marital status?
Aberdeen riding high
Aberdeen Asset Management, one of the winners from the credit crunch, ranked an impressive 16th in a poll of the best places to work in financial services. It was the top Scottish entrant.
Some 210,000 votes were cast in the poll for the ‘Here Is The City’ with Royal Bank of Scotland soaring from 99th to 22nd place. It’s amazing what £1.3bn of bonuses can do for your popularity.
This one could run...
JD Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson hopes to entice customers in for a full breakfast on the way to work by opening his outlets at 7am.
But he played down the health implications of popping down the pub for a quick fry up.
“I am training for a marathon so I can run it off,” he said. Business Diary’s opinion of joggers remains unchanged.
Final puts travel on ice
Canada’s largest airline has learned it sometimes has to take a back seat to the country’s biggest sporting passion, ice hockey.
Air Canada was forced to delay a flight from Vancouver during the 2010 Winter Olympic Games because passengers, including some top business leaders, ignored repeated calls to board their plane so they could watch the end of gold medal final on airport televisions.
