Nothing pint-sized about Thorley's pay

The £30m that Giles Thorley collected in his nine years at Punch Taverns takes the breath away. The bulk came from share options. But also note how much more expensive the board became in terms of basic salaries, perks and bonuses. In 2002, directors' total emoluments, as they're known, were £1.1m. Last year they were £3.9m. Inflation – and some.
