		Davis, who joined Sainsbury’s in March 2000 as chief executive but became chairman only three months ago, is believed to have been forced out by institutional shareholders furious at the £2.4 million share bonus awarded to him despite the poor performance of the company.

	Sainsbury’s u-turn on fat-cat bonus
		The award of 864,000 shares to Sir Peter in May - representing 86 per cent of the maximum payout under his ‘performance-related’ incentive scheme — provoked a revolt amongst institutional investors which led to him being forced out of his job of July 1.
		But despite the climb-down, investors are still likely to make their unhappiness known at the company’s annual general meeting next week by voting against the company’s remuneration report.
		A spokesman for the National Association of Pension Funds, said: “We are against this because Sir Peter Davis was getting a huge number of shares despite the company’s relatively poor performance last year.

		Davis is to be replaced by 50-year-old Philip Hampton, an ex-Lloyds TSB and BT finance chief, from July 19; he will be paid £395,000 a year.
		This time the troubled retailer took care to consult shareholders over the decision - unlike earlier in the year when Sir Ian Prosser was picked by Sainsbury's as its new chairman, only to be forced to abandon the appointment due to lack of confidence from shareholders.
		There have also been reports the ABI was approached by Sainsbury's to check whether institutional investors would still back Davis if he returned 10 percent of his recent bonus, though the ABI would not comment on this.

	Peter Davis
		Peter Walters Davies and I both retired from NCC in 1988, but then formed a private survey company, Wildlife Surveys (Wales), which contracted to do kite monitoring and research until 1994, when CCW (NCCÎs successor body) and RSPB withdrew major financial support, as they had planned to do, once the population passed 100 breeding pairs.
		This drew attention to aspects that needed confirmation or further investigation, and in 1975 Dr. Derek Ratcliffe (then Chief Scientist of NCC) recommended that a contract be awarded to the Institute of Terrestrial Ecology, to carry out a full-time study on Carrion-feeding Birds in Central Wales, under the supervision of Dr. Ian Newton.
		I was seconded to do field work on the project, from 1975 to 1980, and John Davis came in as field assistant, 1976 to 1978, after which he became NCC warden at Tregaron.
