Sir Colin Corness obituary: industrialist who went on to lead Glaxo
Sir Colin Corness took his perks seriously. When he became chairman of Glaxo (now GSK), he took a chauffeur-driven car to the company's Berkeley Square head office even though he lived only a few minutes' walk away. On £200,000 a year for two days a week in the 1990s, he was then one of Britain's highest-paid non-executive directors. 'We believe it is a fair salary for a man of Sir Colin's experience,' said a Glaxo spokesman. It was nearly double what Corness was paid latterly as chairman of Redland, the brick and tile-making firm he had joined 30 years earlier. Promoted to the board in 1977, he helped to turn it into one of the most successful companies in the European construction industry. 'I would just like to think I have continued with a very good recipe and made the most of it,' he said in 1991. 'Profits were £5 million a year when I joined. Last year they were nearly £250 million. Germany is booming and that is why we have recently been the UK's best-performing construction company. More than 80 per cent of our profits come from outside Britain, and we are the envy of the industry. There have been numerous competitors, of course, but we have always stayed ahead of those who have copied us.' Redland was founded after the First World War in Reigate, Surrey, to employ ex-servicemen making tiles from sand and cement instead of the traditional clay. That 1920s generation was still in control in the 1960s but Corness realised they would soon be bowing out, so it was 'the chance of a lifetime'. Within five years of his arrival they had all retired. The year before he joined the company a German, Rudolf Brass, turned up with a plan to introduce the tiles to West Germany, which was in the midst of postwar rebuilding. A joint venture followed, and when he took the reins Corness enthusiastically built more factories throughout Germany and eastern Europe. 'That was the secret of our success above all else,' he said. His undoing was a deal too far; a 1992 hostile takeover bid for Steetley, which also made bricks and tiles. 'We are bigger and we are rather more skilful at tax management than they are,' Corness said. But he underestimated the resourcefulness of Steetley's chairman, David Donne (obituary June 3, 2011). When they argued over who had the more bricks, Donne sent a helicopter to photograph the Redland brickyards. He squeezed the price up to £615 million, which stretched Redland so far that Corness stepped down and the firm was broken up a few years later. A barrister who never practised, Corness made a strong case against companies giving money to political parties, something he stopped at Glaxo as soon as he arrived. 'I disagreed with the practice of political donations,' he explained. 'After all, there had never been a poll taken as to what shareholders, employees or customers thought about such contributions.' Colin Ross Corness was born in Chorlton-cum-Hardy, Manchester, in 1931, son of Thomas Corness and Mary (née Lovelace). Thomas owned a distillery that made George IV whisky and was taken over by Distillers Company, now part of Diageo. Colin had a brother, Ian, who became a sales executive. They were evacuated to the West Country during the Second World War. Growing up in Cheshire, as a Scout, Colin visited Alstonefield in the Peak District, regarded as one of Staffordshire's most attractive villages. He decided to live there when he retired. He attended Uppingham school and Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he read law. Having been denied a tank regiment, he did National Service as a lieutenant in the Royal Scots Dragoons cavalry. Corness entered the Inner Temple and was called to the Bar. He later obtained an MBA at Harvard Business School. He was engaged to be married but, his nephew Simon says, he remained single to prioritise his career. He was the first Cambridge graduate to join the Taylor Woodrow building group, at £500 a year. On his first day his boss told him: 'Before you start, as far as I'm concerned you don't know nothing.' Corness said: 'He was quite right, of course, so I immediately set out to remedy this.' He impressed the chairman, Frank (later Lord) Taylor, sufficiently for him to be made managing director of the construction arm aged only 30. But when he was poached by Redland four years later, Taylor was so angry he initially threatened that his firm would never again buy from Redland. 'It proved an empty threat,' said Corness, 'but it was many years before Frank would talk to me.' After he left Redland, he was welcomed back on to the Taylor Woodrow board. In the 1980s he was appointed to the court of the Bank of England and became a director of the SG Warburg merchant bank, National Westminster, the steel and aluminium firm Unitech, Courtaulds and WH Smith. He was chairman of Nationwide Anglia, the building society. Corness was also on the National Economic Development Committee for the building industry, the Industrial Development Advisory Board, the British-American Chamber of Commerce, the National Council of Building Materials Products and the Institute of Roofing. He was active in a number of charities. As chairman of Magdalene's campaign committee, his significant role in construction of the new library was recognised by having the top-floor reading room named after him. He was knighted for services to the construction industry in 1986. When he retired, he fulfilled his childhood desire to return to Alstonefield. 'I looked at many properties,' he said, 'but knew immediately that Stoneleigh, a Grade II listed Georgian property, was right for me. Its proportions were well suited to my needs and my collection of antiques.' He furnished Stoneleigh with a Georgian mahogany campaign secretaire, an 18th-century chest of drawers and a George III mahogany serpentine chest of drawers. Works of art included painted decoy ducks, a silver chamberstick, a 19th-century oak linen press, a vintage crocodile skin attaché case, a boot rack and a brass ship's gimbal desk lamp. The walls were decorated with an Edgar Hunt farmyard painting, a 19th-century Highland landscape oil painting and a John Speed map of Rutland. He eventually sold the property to live in London, where he enjoyed travel, music and tennis. Gerald Corbett, the former Railtrack chief executive who was a colleague on the Redland board, said: 'Colin set exacting standards of behaviour. Although he was quite old-fashioned, dry sherry before lunch and all the rest of it, with him your word was your bond.' Sir Colin Corness, industrialist, was born on October 9, 1931. He died on June 25, 2025 aged 93

How Labour is protecting National Lottery monopoly – and costing good causes up to £132m

I wouldn't describe myself as a mug punter; I may be a mug, but I'd have to gamble a bit more to be descried as a punter of any description. I don't do the lottery, don't put on bets to pep up football on the telly and, with occasional exceptions, only back the gee-gees when I'm at a meeting. It's hard to beat a day at the races when the weather is as glorious as it has been this summer, and not for nothing is horse racing Britain's second-biggest spectator sport behind football, with just under five million racegoers a year. I was at York last month with a gang of old journalism college mates, one of whom has made something of a career as a tipster and knew one of the winning owners. Champagne? Don't mind if I do. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The excitement of winning is hard to beat, but it's also not difficult to appreciate the danger of chasing losses. And in a week when Labour government policies have put unemployment up to a four-year high and with inflation rising, we all need some cheering up but it's also understandable if more people seek easy ways to escape a financial hole. The UK Government seems determined to look after the interests of the National Lottery (Picture: Jeff J Mitchell) | Getty Images Problem gambling Fears about problem gambling have grown, largely due to high-profile stories of professional footballers getting into deep trouble – young men with lots of money and nothing better to fill their days after training – and, at the opposite end of the scale, are fixed-odds machines in bookies' shops in run-down estates, snaring people with no money to spare. Last year's Gambling Survey for Great Britain, in which Glasgow University researchers questioned 10,000 adults, indicated the UK could have as many as 1.3 million problem gamblers. With this in mind, the UK Government recently paused a plan to relax regulations for high street 'adult gaming centres', which currently limits the number of machines paying out £500 jackpots to a fifth of the total in the shop. Operators argue this so-called 80/20 rule limits growth because players tend not to use the 80 per cent of machines with pay-outs capped at £100. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Meanwhile, new legislation has been passed for England and Wales to tighten casino operations, slashing the number of machines from a Vegas-style maximum of 1,250 to just 80. It's all a long way off from the super casinos the Tony Blair government hoped would give a boost to old seaside resorts like Blackpool. This new conservative approach is also affecting lotteries, but for very different reasons. Far from wanting to protect the public from evil, the Labour government has decided to shield the National Lottery – operated by Allwyn, the international 'lottery-led entertainment company' which won the franchise from Camelot last year – from stronger competition, despite its own evidence showing that millions more could be donated to good causes if lottery rules were changed. People's Postcode Lottery At the heart of the argument is the Edinburgh-headquartered People's Postcode Lottery (PPL), by some way the UK's biggest operator after the National Lottery, and the only one affected by a current £50 million cap on annual ticket sales. PPL has been arguing for the limit to be raised to £100m, and a report commissioned from independent economics consultants for the Department of Media, Culture & Sport confirmed that PPL's ticket sales would grow by between £51m and £477m, which would generate charitable donations of between £17m and £157m. The downside, they say, is that the competition could reduce National Lottery sales (currently just over £8 billion) by between £25m and £148m and reduce its support for good causes from anything between £5m and £30m. As the report acknowledges, the simple arithmetic shows that lifting the ticket sales limit should result in a minimum boost for donations of £16m, and a potential to produce an extra £132m, a 6.5 per cent increase. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The official argument is that if the ticket limit was raised, it would allow the PPL to use higher sales to increase its prizes and so encourage more players to switch from the National Lottery. But the PPL points out that separate legislation fixes the maximum prize to £500,000. Of course there is a strong argument lifting for that too, given the twice-weekly Euromillions draw, run here by Allwyn, guarantees ten UK players will win £1m. PPL also points out that the government has decided not to regulate big commercial prize draws like Omaze (million-pound houses for a minimum £10 entry) and Raffle House (a £10 ticket could win you a £3m Home Counties house and a £65,000 Porsche) as if they don't have an impact on the National Lottery. Government protectionism? At a time when Third Sector organisations are desperate for money, it might have been expected that the opportunity would have been embraced with enthusiasm, but instead the government has decided to keep the ceiling as it is, primarily because of a fear that the Exchequer will lose up to £18m in lottery duty from Allwyn and 'remove one of the policy levers available to government to protect the National Lottery and the funding it raises'. Yet, the official report acknowledges that when the ticket sales limit was lifted from £10m to the current £50m in 2020, the same fear that the National Lottery would suffer turned out to be wide of the mark and, according to the Gambling Commission, National Lottery sales grew by £1.2bn between 2017 and 2022.
