Former Commonwealth Bank of Australia boss Sir Ralph Norris is back in Sydney this week, but we hear it has nothing to do with the Australia’s biggest bank.

Instead, Norris is in town to finally meet his fellow directors at stockbroker and financial advice group Wilsons, where he represents the firm’s biggest shareholder, New Zealand’s Craig’s Investment Partners.
