John Ritblat to join London Business School

A side note: our friend John Ritblat, head of British Land, is to be the new chairman of the London Business School, Property Week report [subscription only]. He's got a pretty varied range of non-commercial roles, as a member of the board of governors of The Weizmann Institute of Science, deputy chairman of the Royal Academy of Music, vice president of the Tennis & Rackets Association, and president of Snowsport UK, formerly The British Ski & Snowboard Federation.

Well, one of us was skiing with him over New Years so can certainly vouch for his skill in that department.
