CITY VIEWS: SHOULD THERE BE AN AGE LIMIT ON COMPANY EXECS?
MATT CLAY | LLOYD’S OF LONDON
“I think it should be down to capability rather than age. They have to review the candidate within all aspects including capability and experience, every individual is different. It is not right to have an age limit because it might not be applicable to some people.”
RICHARD HUGHES | LLOYD’S OF LONDON
“Each should be a case-by-case basis, there shouldn’t be a set rule beyond a certain age. Age isn’t a contributing factor unless they are senile or not able to do the job due to age related diseases.”
VIKTOR KALIN | DEUTSCHE
“There shouldn’t be an age limit, especially not 65, they should choose the best person that suits the job. Perhaps if that means a forty year old has the same qualifications and as a seventy year old, maybe they should go for the forty year old because he can continue in the job for longer.”
