Currys has become the latest company to be hit with a shareholder rebellion over executive pay.At their annual meeting, more than 21 per cent of voters rejected the electronics retailer’s pay scheme for 2022 – which handed chief executive Alex Baldock £2.2 million. Around £1.2 million of this was in the form of bonuses.

Currys said it would speak to shareholders to find out why they objected to the scheme.
