Sir Howard's flight to Phoenix raises eyebrows
The Times, 24/08/2012, p.41, Miles Costello
Sir Howard Davies was under pressure to step down as a director of the Prudential last night after being named chairman of Britain's biggest insurance funds consolidator, Phoenix Group. Sir Howard is also a former director of the London School of Economics, although he was forced to resign just over a year ago over its financial links with the former Libyan regime of Colonel Gaddafi.
