The Confederation of British Industry (CBI) has sacked director general Tony Danker and suspended three other employees after a series of misconduct allegations rocked the trade body.
The board of the business group, which claims to represent 190,000 companies across the UK, said that Danker’s conduct “fell short” of what was expected of him.
It admitted there had been “serious failings” in how it acted as an organisation and promised to do better.
