member of the Butler committee that investigated intelligence flaws
surrounding Iraq’s alleged weapons of mass destruction, has been made
non-executive chairman.Nicholas Soames, the Conservative former armed forces minister, has
been appointed a non-executive director. Robert McFarlane, US
president Ronald Reagan’s national security adviser, has joined the
Aegis advisory council.Mark Bullough, Aegis managing director, said: "This is only just
becoming an industry in UK and there has been a question mark over
how respectable it is. Certainly the reassurance of the non-executive
names offers an endorsement of our company and points of reference
for people not used to dealing with the sector."(FT via AMPMlist)
