Shell’s three and a half hour long session (one agm, one court meeting and an egm), which consigned its Transport and Trading arm to history, seemed too much for Lord Oxburgh. At one point, he introduced non-exec Sir Peter Job as Sir Peter Burt. Job grumbles: “He ought to know me by now.”
Meanwhile, next’s year’s agm is unlikely to be held in the stifling Exel Centre in the Docklands. First Oxburgh complained he couldn’t hear a shareholder over the din of a plane taking off at nearby City airport. Then another non-exec, Lord Kerr, said he hoped the next meeting wouldn’t be held in “this ghastly dungeon”. Everyone agreed.
*As Lord Coe touches down in Singapore to try to hoover up last-minute votes ahead of next week’s decision on where the 2012 Olympics will be held, he won’t be encouraged by the result of Shell’s annual meeting yesterday.

Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
