Andrew Barnes has revealed that he is a teensy weensy bit jealous of his sibling. Brother Simon recently stepped down as managing director of Aon's international non-marine reinsurance division to join Andrew, who heads the marine sector at Jardine Lloyd Thompson.

The boys have since invested their hard earned cash in a holiday home in France. But Andrew has been muttering about how his older brother keeps calling him to check the decorating plans. Simon is on gardening leave until August 1, while Andrew is stuck in the office.
