LONDON - Boris Johnson has poached senior Sky boss Andrew Griffith as his business adviser in one of his first appointments before moving into Downing Street, tasked with repairing relations with the corporate sector ahead of Brexit.
He will be based full time in 10 Downing Street from Wednesday, the first day of Johnson’s premiership, Sky’s Chief Executive Jeremy Darroch said in an email to staff seen by Reuters. Griffith will need to build bridges between the City and Johnson, who has said Britain will leave the European Union “do or die” by Oct. 31.
