Motability CEO Mike Betts gets a pay packet of £1.7 million – and the company, which supplies cars to disabled people, is squatting on £2.4 billion in cash reserves
“GROSSLY overpaid” charity bosses should have their salaries capped to ensure that money is spent on the people who need it, says leading disability campaigner Linda Burnip.
Two parliamentary committees have branded the £1.7 million pay packet for the boss of Motability Operations “totally unacceptable” and criticised the company, which supplies cars to people with disabilities, for hoarding £2.4 billion in cash reserves.
Motability chief executive officer Mike Betts was given a 78 per cent increase in his pay package over nine years, despite running a taxpayer-supported monopoly with zero competition.
