Comment: The start of the article was confused by a speedy deletion initially (see article talk page). I'm dating it from PamD's fresh start of the topic on 3 Jan.
New enough, long enough, checked most of the sources and no copyvio found. Alas, I don't have access to the FT, so can't comment on the "open shirt collar", or whether he still dresses this way at work. If so, perhaps adding ", up to three buttons undone" (which is in the WP article) or something similar might enliven the hook. Also, "born 1966 or 1967" should have a reference. BT should be linked; it is well-known in the UK, but not in other countries.

@
Edwardx Thanks for the quick review. I'll follow up your suggestions but, for now, note that you can read eight FT articles per month for free if you
register for free. The FT is a good source for such topics because it has more detailed company information than the other broadsheets.

@
Andrew Thank you for the FT reminder - I thought I'd used my quota for the month, but in actuality, I was simply not logged in. Yes, the FT article confirms the open shirt collar and the three buttons. The other points remain...
