His position at Tesco seems to have been identical to MIchiel Brandjes, the Company Secretary and General Counsel Corporate of Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
“…Lloyd was listed as part of the board on Tesco’s website…” He advised the board on legal and governance issues.
Brandjes is listed as part of the board of Royal Dutch Shell Plc on shell.com. He advises the board on legal and governance issues.
Lloyd is described by The Sunday Times as a key senior executive.
It follows that the same applies to Mr Brandjes, who is approaching retirement.
