Bumper £9million payday ticks the right boxes for YouGov bosses
Bosses at survey group YouGov raked in £9million last year.
Then-CEO Stephan Shakespeare earned £4.7m in the year to July, up from £540,000 previously.
Shakespeare, who co-founded YouGov with former Chancellor Nadhim Zahawi in 2000, stopped running the company in August and is now chairman.
