Two leading FTSE 100 companies announced changes at the top today, with a new boss appointed at Unilever and Sir Nigel Wilson signalling his retirement after a decade running Legal & General.

Ryanair earlier recorded a bigger-than-expected quarterly profit of 211 million euros (£185 million) after a strong Christmas period.
