Vincent de Rivaz

Vincent de Rivaz is the French boss of EDF Energy, the UK's biggest power generator.
==Playing down Fukushima==
In July 2011, four months after the Fukushima nuclear disaster, de Rivaz made a speech to the Energy Industries Club in which he asked "what impact has Fukushima had? Has it fundamentally altered the process?" He continued: "The answer is no." 
He said that the "new nuclear programme in the UK should not be subject to unnecessary delay". He thanked the Energy Minister Charles Hendry, who was also at the meeting. He said: "Charles is held in high regard throughout the industry. I would like to thank him and his colleagues across Government for the leadership they have demonstrated in recent months".Vincent de Rivaz, NUCLEAR NEW BUILD 2011 - The road to Final Investment Decisions, EDF, 5 July 2011

Vinnell Corporation

Vinnell Corporation is a Fairfax Virginia-based firm founded in 1931, and a subsidiary of the defence conglomerate Northrop Grumman. In 1975, the company won a $77 million contract to train Saudi Arabian infantry and artillery battalions to defend oil fields. It was licensed by the government to train the Saudi National Guard, the 100,000 strong force that protects the monarchy and serves as a counterweight to any threat from the regular army. 
In 2003 the company received a $48 million contract to train the new Iraqi army and it started recruiting personnel in August. By December, when the first battalion was slated to join the US forces in its operation, 480 out of the 900 from the unit had abandoned their jobs because of 'low pay, inadequate training, faulty equipment and ethnic tensions'. Vinnell was paying the soldiers only $50 a month. The company had subcontracted most of the training to MPRI, a Virginia based firm that had helped train the Croatian and Bosnian armies. Vinnell's contract was subsequently terminated and the Jordanian Army called in to replace it.

Viridor

Viridor calls itself "one of the UK's leading resource and waste management companies".Welcome to Viridor, Viridor website, accessed 25 Oct 2009
Viridor and South West Water are subsidiaries of the Pennon Group.Welcome to the Pennon Group plc, Pennon Group website, accessed 25 Oct 2009
==Controversies==
Viridor operates waste incinerators, amongst its other activities. In 2009 a former employee at Viridor's Raikes Lane, Bolton incinerator, Patrick Sudlow (though he was not an employee while Viridor owned the incinerator), claimed that pollution monitoring records at the incinerator were falsified to cover up poor performance. An article in the South Wales Echo of May 6 reported:
:Mr Sudlow’s claims emerged as Viridor’s controversial plans for an incinerator to burn 350,000 tonnes of waste a year in the Splott ward of the capital were being discussed today at the city council’s planning committee.David James, Safety fears over waste firm Viridor, South Wales Echo, May 6 2009, accessed Oct 25 2009
According to a report in ENDS:
:A culture of poor management, he [Sudlow] said, has seen routine falsification of pollution-monitoring records and logbook data, illicit effluent discharges to sewer and engineering problems which have endangered the health of operators. The malpractice, he said, has escaped the Environment Agency’s attention.Bolton incinerator should close: whistleblower, ENDS Report 411, April 2009, pp 21-22 
According to the article in the South Wales Echo, a spokesman for Viridor said the company had only taken over management of the facility, which disposes of waste in Greater Manchester, in the last month. Therefore Sudlow was not an employee at the incinerator during the company's ownership. The spokesman said the allegations “appear to be based on nothing more than individual perceptions from a disgruntled former employee”.David James, Safety fears over waste firm Viridor, South Wales Echo, May 6 2009, accessed Oct 25 2009
A letter from Dan Cooke, External Affairs Manager at Viridor, published in the South Wales Echo on May 8 2009 said:
:The site referred to in Bolton has been within Viridor’s ownership for just four weeks. Mr Sudlow left the site in March 2008, therefore was never an employee of Viridor and therefore his unfounded allegations concerning site safety and pollution-monitoring records do not relate to Viridor’s ownership or operation of the site.Dan Cooke, Coverage was inaccurate, Letter to editor, South Wales Echo, 8 May 2009, accessed 25 Oct 2009
Sudlow's concerns regarding Viridor, however, appear to hinge around his claim that he contacted Viridor to discuss the problems with the incinerator but received no response. In other words, there is no evidence that Viridor has addressed and solved the problems.Bolton incinerator should close: whistleblower, ENDS Report 411, April 2009, pp 21-22

Vision Posters

Vision Posters is a Midlands-based billboard advertising company (shown above is a Labour election poster on one of Vision's sites). They gave the Labour Party more than £5,000 in sponsorship in 1998 and made a donation of £5,000 in 1999-2000. Scottish Radio Holdings (a radio, local newspaper and billboard company) bought Vision Posters in May 1999 and it now operates under the brand 'Score Outdoor', alongside Trainer Ltd, Signways (Manchester) and Parkin Advertising (Bristol). Score Outdoor operate about 4000 billboards with sales of £7.2 million in 1999.
In July 1999 the Government launched a consultation paper on Outdoor Advertisement control, in which they proposed the abolition of "Areas of Special Control of Advertisements" (ASCAs), in which billboards are banned (more than half of England and Wales are covered by ASCAs) and also proposed increases in the permitted level of brightness of illuminated boards.

==VNRs==
:Visnews, the international television news agency which makes VNRs for corporate clients, says in its own press release: 'VNRs are an extremely successful method for gaining publicity and highly cost-effective television exposure for a corporate client... Ask most television heads of news if they use VNRs and the an-swer will be no but ask the programme editors and they'll probably tell you they use them all the time...'
:British Telecom hired Visnews Corporate Television, a subsidiary company, to produce a VNR publicis-ing the 25th anniversary of the Telecom tower, which was used on BBC's Breakfast Time on October 8 with a story about charges for directory enquiries. Last year, News at Ten ran a VNR from Sea Containers show-ing its Seacat catamaran breaking a transatlantic record. Sky News, BBC South and TVS recently used an-other Sea Containers VNR showing the Seacat passing under Tower Bridge to be presented with a trophy. Steve Garvey, the corporate television manager at Visnews, says the European VNR market will be worth 'tens of millions of pounds' within three years, as broadcasters opt for VNRs to avoid the cost of sending out camera crews.Melinda Wittstock 'Here is the news (with a hidden message)' The Times July 10, 1991, Wednesday SECTION: Features
