Top three

THREE bosses each holding eight non-executive directorships head the 1993 Director/Arthur Andersen Corporate Register, down from the record 11 non-executive directorships held by Sir Roland Smith, the former British Aerospace chairman, in 1991.

The leaders are George Duncan, who has added the chairmanship of Higgs & Hill to his already impressive list of directorships. He is accompanied by AWP (Cob) Stenham, who now includes Trafalgar House among his responsibilities, and a relative newcomer to the league table, Philip Lovegrove.

Meanwhile, Sir Roland has slipped back to a modest six company posts.
