Too often we knock people for doing a below par job, but Mrs Gill has delivered on every consumer issue she took up. In private business it is common practice to pay thousands of punds to the financial papers when a successful chief executive (and sometimes, not so successful ones too!) leaves a post. It is published with pictures and plaudites. We should be thanking Mrs Gill, and wishing her our best; not casting a shadow on a very brave career change.
