Yet Bryan Sanderson, who does both, has added to this list chair of Standard Chartered, the emerging-markets bank. He will spend three days a week on his new job - much of it travelling abroad. The bank has a turnover of pound;4bn, 600,000 employees in India and a major presence in the Far East.
This triplet of posts is joined on the Sanderson CV by the chair of Bupa, non-executive director of hotels group Six Continents (who own Bass Breweries) and vice-chair at the London School of Economics. Surely there is a New Year’s “gong“on the way.

“I will be relinquishing several of my private-sector commitments, including that with Six Continents, in order to devote as much time as possible to Learning and Skills Council business.”
