Revealed: This is not yet confirmed, but I understand that the former Aggreko and Serco CEO Rupert Soames, who now chairs the medical devices maker Smith & Nephew, is being lined up as the new chair of the CBI, replacing the current president Brian McBride. More soon.

The ace Sascha O'Sullivan is off after three years to pastures new. Now that her long reign of terror / artful guiding of the opinion pages is over, we’re looking for someone to step into her shoes - DMs open, etc.
