Any Other Business – 27/2
JOHN Roberts, chief exec of AO.com likes a good party. The Christmas dos at his white goods empire are notoriously lavish (free champagne, cocktails, beer and Jäger we hear). Roberts claims he’s always thrown a good festive disco, even when the company was much smaller. Well, with that information to hand we should all be fishing for an invite to this year’s shindig, following the £1.6bn AO.com float yesterday. It should pay for more than a few Jägerbombs – and they certainly won’t run out of fridges for the champagne.
