Dixons Carphone shareholders revolt over executive pay
Dixons Carphone has said it will consult with its shareholders after being hit with a stinging revolt over the pay of its leadership team.
Almost a quarter of its investors voted against the retailer’s remuneration report at its AGM yesterday, which will see boss Alex Baldock handed long-term share awards worth more than £2.3m.
