I want my mum back! £2.5million-a-year executive quits after her children say they don't see her enough

A Tory peer has quit as the £2.5million boss of one of Britain's biggest firms to spend more time at home after one of her children told her: 'I want my mum back.' 


Ruby McGregor-Smith, 53, has spent nine years juggling her role as chief executive of security and cleaning staff supplier Mitie with raising her two children. But yesterday Baroness McGregor-Smith, Britain's first Asian boss of a top FTSE 250 company, announced plans to step down, saying this was partly influenced by the comments from her children.
