BT Chief Executive Allison Kirkby Earns £5.6 Million After Pay Package Doubles

11 Haziran 2026The Guardian

Allison Kirkby, the chief executive of BT, received a substantial pay and bonus package of £5.6 million, marking a significant increase from the previous year. This payment reflects a nearly 80% surge in BT's share price since she took over as CEO in February 2024.
It represents the largest pay award for a BT boss in over a decade.
The telecom industry has seen significant changes in recent years, with increased competition and technological advancements. Kirkby's leadership comes at a critical time for BT, as the company navigates these challenges and seeks to enhance its market position.
Kirkby's pay increase raises questions about executive compensation, especially in a sector where many companies are facing scrutiny over their pay structures. While the rise in share price suggests successful leadership, the disparity between executive pay and average employee wages remains a contentious issue.
