Accountant in line for £1.75m bonus payment

An accountant-turned managing director stands to reap £1.75m from a takeover of a leading pet care provider.

Paul Foden, managing director of ByoFresh, who was once a chartered accountant with Arthur Andersen, will receive the bonus as part of a take over agreement.
