On 12 October 2014, The Sunday Times Business Section published a front page article about the departure of Jonathan Lloyd, the company secretary of Tesco:
See Tesco turmoil grows as key executive quits
His position at Tesco seems to have been identical to MIchiel Brandjes, the Company Secretary and General Counsel Corporate of Royal Dutch Shell Plc.
“…Lloyd was listed as part of the board on Tesco’s website…” He advised the board on legal and governance issues.
Brandjes is listed as part of the board of Royal Dutch Shell Plc on shell.com. He advises the board on legal and governance issues.
Lloyd is described by The Sunday Times as a key senior executive.
It follows that the same applies to Mr Brandjes, who is approaching retirement.

Michiel Brandjes
Company Secretary
Born December 14, 1954. A Dutch national, appointed as Company Secretary and General Counsel Corporate of the Company in February 2005.
He joined Shell in 1980 as a Legal Adviser and was later appointed Head of Legal in Singapore.

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.
