Kingspan board gets €3.8m payment

Executive remuneration at Kingspan rose almost 28 per cent last year

Executive remuneration at Kingspan rose almost 28 per cent last year. The eight executives who sat on the board last year shared €3.85 million.

The figure was, however, skewed by the inclusion of a €438,000 severance payment for Mr Robert Barr, the former chief operating officer who left the group last October.

Basic executive pay amounted to €2.15 million, with pension contributions totalling €1.06 million.

Chairman and chief executive Mr Eugene Murtagh received the highest basic salary of €390,000 but Mr Brendan Murtagh, the head of corporate development, was the best-paid overall with a total package of €729,000.
