Express departure
Article Abstract:
Phil White has replaced Ernest Patterson as chief executive at National Express. Patterson had only been in the post for under six months and his departure will cost the company severance pay which could be as much as 300,000 pounds sterling. National Express took over six months to appoint Patterson, and White was a possible candiadte when White was appointed. Shareholders may ask why White was not appointed instead of Patterson, whom National Express claims left for cultural reasons.
