Sir Fred Goodwin, the former RBS chief executive who became the face of banker greed during the recession, has become a senior adviser to architect RMJM.

According to a report in the Times, an internal RMJM memo last week said his appointment was designed to support the international expansion of the world鈥檚 fifth largest architect.

The Edinburgh-based firm would not confirm how much Goodwin would be paid and it was reported that he would help the firm鈥檚 expansion plans in Asia.

A source close to the company said it had thought 鈥渓ong and hard鈥� before making the appointment but decided to proceed because Goodwin鈥檚 reputation in Asia had not taken the same battering it took in the UK.
