In his first broadcast interview, Mr Soames admitted to concerns around whether the 60-year-old lobbying group could survive the “reputational disaster” which has seen dozens of its high-profile members leave.
Companies including John Lewis, Tesco, Aviva and Jaguar Land Rover quit their membership after a series of scandals involving allegations of sexual harassment, rape and drug taking rocked the organisation which tries to promote best practice within business.
On Monday, the CBI said it had settled a case for wrongful dismissal brought by Mr Danker, its former director general.
Mr Danker was sacked with immediate effect in 2023 following complaints about his behaviour, despite the lobbying group clarifying Mr Danker was completely unconnected to the most serious allegations.
