Job title edit

In this article 'Director-General of the Confederation of British Industry' is a specific job title and is not here being used generically, see MOS:JOBTITLES. It is her correct formal title and is treated as a proper noun. The title is also hyphenated.
An example of a generic title exists in the first paragraph '... former non-executive director of ...'
It is also necessary to be consistent within the article.

Thank you for responding. This is a misunderstanding of the policy that I cited in my edit, MOS:JOBTITLES. By the way, the BBC, Guardian and CNBC all use director-general or director general. Edwardx (talk) 23:19, 24 March 2016 (UTC)Reply
