City Diary: Great British Bake Off winner cooks up edible birthday cards business In Diary's opinion, a baked birthday card ticks that having-your-cake-and-eating-it box. Family in the firing line Like father, like son, at the smart meter business Bglobal. Just two months after Peter Kennedy was ousted as executive chairman after a revolt by unhappy investors, his son, finance chief Nick Kennedy, has this week been fired too, following a "very thorough" internal investigation into his conduct. Diary understands the reasons for the sacking relate to Kennedy junior's actions in the run-up to Bglobal's extraordinary general meeting on August 15, when his father was struck off the board, and not financial irregularities. All new chairman John Grant will tell Diary is: "We had grounds for immediate dismissal with no compensation." Sadly, the upheaval - like KPMG's strategic review of the Aim company - continues. Despite being "out of office," Kennedy senior has convened a general meeting on Hallowe'en to demand the removal of chief Tim Jackson-Smith and independent non-exec James Newman. "He could have waited until the review was finished," huffs Grant. Here's what energy giant SSE really thinks about this week's revelations that its Perth office keeps its lights on after most workers have gone home. On Twitter, where the company's deputy head of media, Glenn Barber, makes clear that "all opinions expressed are mine, not SSE's," he writes in sarcastic fashion: "Don't forget "Outrage as companies whose call centres are open "til 8pm still have lights on at 7.30pm."" Still, at least SSE has an award for "crisis management" under its belt. The Big Six firm was awarded the gong at this week's prizegiving run by PR Week magazine, which also gave a trophy to the comms team at O2/Telefonica. Something that wouldn't have come as a huge surprise to Telefonica's comms chief, Nicola Green. Her many duties include chairing the awards" judging panel.
