Makes Stephen Byers at “£3-5,000″ a day look a bit expensive – not clear he has quite the intellectual capital of a Linklaters or KPMG Partner!
And, in the spirit of benchmarking, (exec appointments), £4000 could also get you 10 days of a “Senior Business Analyst”, 5 days of a “Finance Business Analytics and Strategy Director” or 4 days of an “Interim Director of Compliance”.
