Names Of The Week (9)

It has been some time since I was an assiduous follower of the ins and outs of the corporate world but as a collector of examples of nominative determinism, I could not let the latest example of soft shoe shuffle at Leicestershire based discount shoe retailer, Shoe Zone, pass without comment.

They have just appointed a new Finance Director, Terry Boot. He replaces the last incumbent who lasted just seven months. His name, I kid you not, was Peter Foot.

Let’s hope he is a better fit and does not get the boot.
