Mirror five get own pensions
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.FIVE directors of Mirror Group Newspapers have their own pension scheme, separate from other members of staff. At last Friday's annual meeting, MGN shareholders criticised David Montgomery, the chief executive, when they learnt of his separate arrangements. But four other directors also participate in the same exclusive arrangement.
They are: John Allwood, finance director, Murdoch MacLennan, group operations director, Paul Vickers, company secretary, and Terry Connor, development manager.
MGN is paying pounds 56,000 a year towards Mr Montgomery's pension, 25 per cent of his salary. The company is also paying 25 per cent of Mr Allwood's and Mr MacLennan's salaries into their pensions.
