The chief executive of British Gas owner Centrica was “sent excrement” in the post yesterday amid an ongoing row over pay at the firm.
Chris O’Shea told MPs at a business committee meeting today that the package was received by his wife and teenage son “with a note about fire and rehire”.
British Gas engineers last month held a five-day strike after Centrica said it plans to cut about 5,000 jobs to “arrest the decline” of the company.
