The bosses of Balfour Beatty have agreed to take a 20% reduction in their salaries due to the impact of the coronavirus crisis.
The group’s chair, executive directors, non-executive directors and its executive committee will all take a reduction in their salaries.
The news came as the contractor announced that it was postponing its annual general meeting, scheduled for 14 May, as well as postponing its final dividend to shareholders.
