To: [email protected][[email protected]] From: PETER MANDELSON Sent: Sat 1/22/2011 2:38:57 PM Losing the last general election has obviously had its benefits for a crop of former Labour government ministers. Lord Davies (trade) has ended up on the boards of several companies, including Diageo; Lord Myners (financial services) has become a director of RIT Capital Partners; now Lord Mendelson, the former business secretary, has landed a part-time role as a senior adviser to Lazard, the investment bank. But the real intrigue may lie in Lord Mandelson's work at Global Counsel, the advisory boutique he established last month. I am told that he has signed up an international entertainment company and a big UK manufacturer among his first clients. The Mandelson brand is clearly not fading yet.
