CRH and AstraZeneca bosses among best paid in UK

The median pay for CEOs in Britain's Ftse-100 stock index of £2.69m is still 86 times the median earnings for the average UK worker.

CRH boss Albert Manifold was the third highest paid boss of a Ftse-100 company last year, according to a new report.

The chief executives of Irish building materials giant CRH and Covid vaccine maker AstraZeneca were amongst the highest-paid bosses of UK-listed companies last year, according to a report.

AstraZeneca CEO Pascal Soriot was Britain's highest-paid company boss in 2020, a year when the average Ftse-100 leader saw their pay fall by almost a fifth.
