Most of these points just need a source and the sourcing is mostly availabe in the docs I will send which you can search by keyword...
 
  
The "Corporate advisor" section
 
***Previously advisor and/or member of: Consigna plc, British Sky Broadcasting Group plc (supposedly Murdoch was reluctantly persuaded to accept him as an independent director and recruitment head of BSkyB (Sunday Business 2/5/99)***
 
* <b>Lynn's note</b> - Murdoch may have been reluctant but the bit in the article doesn't express this directly. It says:
 
:'Pearson happened to be a major shareholder in BSkyB but Stevenson got his directorship of Rupert Murdoch's television company entirely independently. Pearson had two representatives on the Sky board: Goldman Sachs' John Thornton persuaded Murdoch to accept Stevenson as an independent director'. I've reworded the article accordingly.
 
  
This Murdoch "supposedly" thing mention needs a reference.

These statements--that S. got the directorship because of Pearson's shareholding in the bank, and the reason why S. was chosen being that the Halifax(?) was also a client of SRU--need to be supported - <b>Done</b>.

Matthew Freud

most of this page is now done. all that remains is the section below which has info that needs source/backed up before including back into the page:

He also organised a large party for Young Labour at the World Famous Palace Discotheque in Blackpool at their 1998 Conference. Hosted by Chris Evans (one of Freud's PR clients) it cost £20,000, paid for by Rupert Murdoch's BSkyB.

He donated the use of his West End offices to Frank Dobson's campaign for London Mayor (part of 'a long-standing arrangement with the local Party'). Dobson's supporters used the offices as a base to phone round high-profile Labour members.

He also a close friend of Task Force members Lord Alli (Freud handled the publicity for Lord Alli's Big Breakfast TV programme) and James Palumbo of the Ministry of Sound. He is also involved with clickmusic, an internet music directory set up by Robert Devereux and Alan McGee.

He co-owns expensive restaurants like Marco Pierre-White's Quo Vadis and Damian Hirst's Pharmacy.
