Do you know the BASICS of how a business works?

The board RUNS the business. No one else below them does. If you answer to them then you do not RUN a multimillion pound organisation. You simply MANAGE a part of it.

Jesus, you harp on about being bright yet I’m fairly sure my dog would have a better understanding of such simple words.

Oh and you’d better remove that tag because it makes you look even more of a complete tool. 😆 Actually I’m starting to think that’s your intention?

Matt – you have no idea what the organisation was nor what my role was.

It was a nursing home. I was the registered manager. That means I had total managerial responsibility and control for everything that happened within that home which was completely separate from the rest of the organisation. . The umbrella organisation was a charity with a part time amateur board. They did not run the home. I did as a stand alone part of a bigger organisation. so to say I “I have run a multimillion pound organisation with a couple of hundred staff answerable to the board” is true.

So a nursing home’s (with 200 staff – I cannot think any nursing homes with that many staff. Only nursing home companies that have a network of them) ultimate responsibility lay with a part time “amateur” board from a charity? No full time Chief Executive, no Directors? Was it not for profit by any chance? In which case, while efficiency would have been critical, I somehow doubt that it was there for the purpose of making money.

Laudable as that job sounds, that’s not what I’d call mainstream business which is what Tom Kitchin is running.

Somewhere along the way talk on a television cookery show got diverted into a flinging grandstanding mine is curvier than yours. Tom can you start the site downtime now please. Sigh.

Finally watched the finale, I’m pretending to be surprised. It’s been a very good show.

Is this the finale you watched?

I cannot believe you present yourself like this on stw and work for your wifes run a PR firm beggars belief.
