It seems that Ross Goobey was also gratified by the excellent turnout at his retirement bash. Wendy Mayall of Unilever was among the attendees, although Carol Galley, for some reason, sent her apologies. Ross Goobey is now setting himself up as portfolio man. New appointments as a trustee to Wellcome Trust and chairman to TR Property Trust are also firmed up. To this Ross Goobey can add a directorship of property group Argent (backed by Hermes), chairmanship of its two Focus funds and charitable interests. Is that enough? 'I think so,' says Ross Goobey.
