The CEO of UK catering distribution giant Brake Bros, Ian Player, has picked up a cash bonus worth 6% of his last year’s salary – meaning his total remuneration reached a cool £314,000 (US$457,242).


Market watchers expressed surprise that Player’s package included the £17,000 bonus, and £5,000 from participation in profit share, when the company had issued several profit warnings during the year.


The company defended the wage hike however, stating that there was a need to balance fixed and variable elements when calculating the packages, and that bonuses were dependent on meeting “challenging targets for individual and divisional performance and company pre-tax profit”.


According to the group’s annual report, finance director Len Hughes received a cash bonus worth 8% of his salary, taking his total remuneration to £232,000.


For the last full year, Brake Bros posted underlying pre-tax profit up just £1m year on year.
