Bryan Nicholson

Bryan Nicholson is a Member Public Interest Oversight Board (PIOB) of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC), a Senior Independent Director Education Development International plc (EDI part of the privatisation of education), a Senior Advisor Penfida LLP. In the past he has been Chairman of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC), President of the Confederation of British Industry (CBI), Chairman Cookson Group plc, Chairman BUPA, Chairman Council of The Open University, Chairman and CEO The Post Office, Chairman Manpower Services Commission and non-executive director at GKN. A politics, philosophy and economics graduate of Oxford, his career included time at Unilever, Lucas Varity plc, the Remington division of Sperry Rand and Rank Xerox in the UK.
Now with Proudfoot Consulting which advises on Call Centres, Asset management "Though people are an organisation’s greatest assets, millions of dollars are also locked up in other items in the asset base"; clients include BP. With the Financial Reporting Council, Nicholson has the Sisyphus-like task of being the 'regulator' (in a de-regulated field) responsible for "promoting confidence in financial reporting and corporate governance in the UK." Confidence seems to come and go (as do the 'watchdogs') as the mountain of successive 'scandals' — which disconnects the cycle into isolated incidents — rolls back down: Sisyphus promoted commerce too. In 2003, Nicholson was appointed to lead a 'super watchdog', subsuming the defunct Accountancy Foundation, with powers to regulate the accounting industry, judge auditor objectivity, and punish inappropriate reporting and use of standards. Accountancy Age told us:
::"In other words, Sir Bryan is now in charge of making sure the public and shareholders feel protected from the kind of unscrupulous accounting that went on over at Enron and the sinister shredding that took place at Andersen." 
The appointment was made by Patricia Hewitt (formerly of Arthur Andersen). This setting up of passive watchdogs/locking the stable door is the answer to everything. The Telegraph of 2005 stated that:
::"Sir Bryan Nicholson, chairman of the Financial Reporting Council, yesterday said that an accounting watchdog for private companies should be set up in the wake of the scandal at MG Rover, in which four men were able to buy the business for £10 and pay themselves tens of millions of pounds."
Nicholson added:
::"Part of the duty of the Financial Reporting Council is to maintain confidence in corporate reporting. Cases like this would have the potential to undermine it."
The Telegraph later reported that the despite three warnings that it was futile the DTI continued to pump money into the company. In interviews Nicholson promised to get tough back when he began:
::"'I think it's a perfectly fair comment that if we cannot demonstrate that self regulation works, with certain statutory powers only to back it, then the next stage would be total statutory regulation."

Bryan Sanderson

Bryan K. Sanderson is the Chairman of the private health company BUPA. He is the former Managing Director of Chemicals at BP International, paid £987,000 in 1998. He sat on the Government's Competitiveness Advisory Group Task Force, the Company Law Review Steering Group and the Enhancing Business Performance Task Force. He was appointed to the Industrial Development Advisory Board in February 2000 (the Board advises Government ministers on applications by companies for large assistance grants). He is a member of the Labour Party, one of Tony Blair's 'three wise men' who advised on new competition policy in January 1997, paving the way for his former boss, Lord Simon, to be appointed Minister for European Trade and Competition by Blair in May 1997.
No other company has more members on Government Task Forces. Rodney Chase (paid £962,000 in 1998) BP Managing Director of Exploration, sits on the Advisory Committee for Business and the Environment (alongside Dr John Harford of BP Solar) and the UK Round Table on Sustainable Development. David Watson, BP's Group Treasurer, sits on the Working Party on Sustainable Development. Alan Jones, former Regional President of BP Amoco Scotland, sat on the first Oil and Gas Industry Task Force. His replacement Steve Marshall sits on OGITF 2. BP Amoco makes £28.8 million every day.
Sir John Browne, Chairman of BP, sits on the Government's Competitiveness Council, alongside Sir Richard Evans of BAE Systems and C.K. Chow of GKN. In 1996 he was paid £2.4 million (£1.7 million in share incentives) plus benefits including a car and driver, and in 1998 he was paid £1,514,000. He went to Cambridge University and the Stanford Graduate School of Business in the USA.
BP have paid for employees to work in the British Embassy in Washington and on the Foreign Office's Middle East Desk in London. They have also had staff working inside the DTI and the Treasury (during the period that Gordon Brown eased the tax requirement on oil companies) and Terry Kirchin of BP working in the Scottish Office. Byron Grote, Chief of Staff at BP was drafted in to carry out a review of public-sector efficiency alongside Peter Gershon in 1998.
Bryan Sanderson sits on the board of Sunderland AFC alongside Robert Murray.
BP rebranded itself in 2000 as a caring environmental company, announcing a £250 million investment in renewable energy. However, this pales into comparison with its spending on oil and gas, including £67 billion to buy Amoco and £16 billion to buy ARCO, both in 1999. The company also spent £3 billion to buy Burmah Castrol and £600 million on a stake in PetroChina, both in 2000. BP has seen an opportunity to cash in on the CO2 emission limits set by the Kyoto Summit on Global Warming. By switching its emphasis towards gas (which emits half as much CO2 in power stations as coal) and funding an expensive green PR campaign it is passing itself off as environmentally progressive whilst continuing to expand its profits.
In September 1999 a subsidiary of BP-Amoco had to pay $22 million in fines and compensation after admitting it illegal

Buccleuch Group

===Coal bed methane exploration===
Buccleuch is working with Britain's biggest unconventional gas explorer IGas.
From Buccleuch's website:
:At Canonbie, we have been working for some years on the possibility of extracting coal bed methane, an unconventional gas which is a substitute for natural gas and can be extracted without recourse to hydraulic fracturing (fracking). The aim, if environmental concerns can be satisfactorily addressed and sufficient reserves confirmed, is to purify it and insert it into the National Transmission System (NTS) pipeline, which runs through the Eskdale and Liddesdale Estate by means of a compression site.
:We are very much at the exploration stage of this opportunity, which we are working on with Igas, and much remains to be done to ensure these new technologies can be deployed safely and in an environmentally sensitive manner. Buccleuch is working closely with community groups, local and national elected officials and environmental agencies to ensure regulatory framework and enforcement structures are in place so everyone can proceed with confidence. We believe that this, potentially, is a significant national resource and therefore, the challenge is to find the right way to move forward. If this can be achieved, then Buccleuch will endeavour to develop economic activity locally which can benefit from access to cheap energy and create new and appropriate economic development in the region.
The firm is also a major shareholder in Five-Quarter Energy Holdings.

==Don't mention the VNR==
:Bulletin staff are banned from using ’VNR’ to describe what they do, and refer to ’broadcast’ projects instead. Apparently news editors will never admit to using VNRs, but are quite happy to say that they use ’company hand-out material’. FOCUS: BROADCAST PR - Transatlantic crossing - UK broadcast PROs are learning from their US counterparts. by JULIETTE GARSIDE PR Week UK 28-Apr-00 
:Producers and distributors of VNRs, naturally, cannot see what the fuss is all about. Despite predictions at the start of the decade that the VNR market would be worth tens of millions of pounds in Europe by the mid-1990s, the British market, though growing rapidly, is still estimated to be worth only about Pounds 5 mil-lion a year. Anthony Hayward, managing director of Bulletin, Britain's biggest VNR producer, says that there is no difference between putting out a package of pictures on film and issuing a press pack. 'In the multi-media future,' he says, 'where images and words are all distributed online, there won't be any difference between the two.' Richard Sambrook, the BBC head of newsgathering operations, disagrees. 'It's more like getting a whole page sent to you already made-up, rather than receiving a press release,' he says. But Sambrook concedes that a more plausible explanation for the current concern may be that 'television has not really grown up enough' to know how to handle VNRs. 
:Hayward says that the vast majority of the pictures he supplies to broadcasters are wallpaper shots, used to illustrate business stories. Many are shot in locations which, for reasons of physical safety or commercial confidentiality, are not easily accessible to broadcasters. A VNR produced for the company Digital, showing the inside of a computer chip clean-room at a facility in Scotland, has been used more than 100 times on British television in the past five years. Hayward's VNRs contain no voice commentary, just a shot list. He ensures that all films include some footage containing no brand names.
