Post Office boss obsessed with pay says ex-HR chief
Post Office boss Nick Read was "Obsessed with his pay" and made threats to resign over the issue, the firm's former HR director has claimed. Nick Read became chief executive of the Post Office in 2019 as the organisation dealt with the fall-out of the Horizon scandal and declining revenues. Ms Davies also accused the Post Office of "Dragging their heels" and "Misinterpreting" her complaint which became the basis of the misconduct investigation into Mr Read.She said the Post Office had tried to present her complaint as being about other people, including Henry Staunton, when it was actually "Concerned with Nick Read, and Nick Read alone". A letter to the committee from Mr Staunton was also published on Tuesday in which he said the complaint by Ms Davies had been "Directed at Nick Read and Nick Read alone", rather than Mr Staunton. The Post Office said a "Highly reputable" barrister had "Produced an extensive, robust, and impartial report that fully exonerated Nick Read of all the misconduct allegations levelled against him, and in so doing discredited many of the claims raised in these letters".
