This is the page
Philip (now Sir Philip) Green has a reputation for bludgeoning people (verbally, you understand) who don’t do what he thinks they should. Journalists who write things he doesn’t like, will receive the full “Green treatment” over the phone – furious, threatening and rude.
He has also proved himself a master at using the press to ridicule the management of other businesses he regards as “useless.” When discussions with Woolworths on a BhS/ Woolworths merger came to nothing, Green insisted on referring to Woolworths’ chairman Gerald Corbett as “Ronnie” and joking: “At least Ronnie Corbett got paid for being a comedian.”
Green certainly has a reputation for bludgeoning people (verbally, you understand) who don’t do what he thinks they should. Journalists who write things he doesn’t like, will receive the full “Green treatment” over the phone – furious, threatening and rude.
