I looked at Wikipedia, for any mention of Mr. Godsiff holding any directorships & I found the following, interesting snippet:-
'Andy McSmith's book Faces of Labour (1996), contends that Godsiff obtained selection for his seat in 1992 by dubious means, which although accepted by the Labour Party, were too late to act upon. In 2005, Tribune made similar allegations about his successful bid to stave off deselection, which was only thwarted by the local votes of his former employer, the GMB Union. Godsiff had angered many in his local party by his calls for curbs on immigration.
Godsiff also attracted controversy in the 2009 parliamentary expenses scandal, where he was reported as using office expenses for extensive roofing work, rewiring, replacement guttering and even clock repair at a property he owns.[3]
Further controversy followed when he used images of convicted child sex offender and nursery worker Vanessa George in a campaign to smear the Liberal Democrats by association. The local campaign was later scrapped.[4]
He refuses to take any part in hustings meetings and has attended less than 50% of parliamentary debates during his time in office.[5]
He incurred the second highest expenses of all 647 MPs' for 2008/2009 with claims for £189,338
