250 that's an extremely lateral and exquisite piece of research you have come up with there a few posts back - it lifts the lid - congratulations. Was he a pension scheme trustee at Alstom perchance?
NATS March 2005 accounts yield up some interesting info:
http://www.nats.co.uk/uploads/natsho...rch2005ara.pdf
Paul Barron was appointed on 18 June 2004. Included within benefits is an amount of £100,000 received as compensation for the loss of retirement benefits which Paul in July 2004 was entitled to receive from his former employer, Alstom, with whom he served for 37 years. During the year the company provided pension benefits of £56,000 through a funded unapproved retirements benefits scheme in respect of earnings above the earnings cap. These benefits are not included in the pensions table below.
and
On joining NATS, Paul Barron transferred into the pension scheme accrued benefits of £708,000 earned from his 37 years of service with his previous employer, Alstom.
The figure shown for the increase in transfer value in the year excludes the increase in benefits resulting from the benefits transferred from his former employer's pension scheme in the year.
Oh and another gem:
In addition, CAAPS targeted provision, in relation to salary above the earnings cap, is made through the NATS Supplementary
Pension Scheme (the Funded Unapproved Retirement Benefits Scheme) on behalf of senior managers who joined NATS post-1989.
As at 31 March 2005, two of the executive directors (Messrs Barron and Fotherby) were members of this Scheme.
One NATS, one pension?? With tweaks like that?? You must be joking 
Oh and this one takes the biscuit:
During the year NATS purchased consultancy advice from Human Alchemy for £57,000 (excluding VAT). A director of this company,
Paul Barron, is closely related to a Director of Human Alchemy, Dawn Caswell. The transaction is considered material to Human Alchemy.
The transaction was conducted on arms length terms and no balances are outstanding as at 31 March 2005.
Pure Magic
