A cost-conscious Hayllar takes on PGW overhaul
Article Abstract:
Philadelphia Gas Works Co (Philadelphia, PA) is beginning its second managerial overhaul with the appointment of Ben Hayllar as interim CEO. Four of PGW's 9 senior executives have recently left the company due to allegations of overspending, including CEO James Hawes 3d. Hayllar says he does not expect the ongoing criminal investigation of PGW management to find criminal wrongdoing, and notes that the $250,000 in questionable expenses is not large compared to the utilities $550 million in yearly revenues. Hayllar has tightened rules on use of company credit cards, and plans to reduce the size of the marketing department.
