Nicholas Hugh Tremayne Wrigley (born 22 March 1955)[1] is a British merchant banker and businessman, and the former chairman of Persimmon plc.

Early life

Wrigley was educated at Harrow School. He is a chartered accountant.[2]

Career

Wrigley was a non-executive director at the merchant bank N M Rothschild & Sons until November 2008, and had a thirty years career with the bank, rising to managing director of investment banking.[2][3]

From 2009 to June 2014, Wrigley was senior steward (effectively chairman) of the Jockey Club, succeeding Julian Richmond-Watson.[4] After serving a five-year term, he was succeeded by Roger Weatherby.[4]

In December 2017, Wrigley resigned as chairman of Persimmon plc over his role in awarding Jeff Fairburn, the CEO, a £128 million bonus.[5] The Persimmon bonus scheme is believed to be the UK's "most generous ever", and is scheduled to pay more than £800m to 150 senior staff from 31 December 2016.[5]

Personal life

Wrigley is married to Venetia, with two daughters Fartabella, Letitia and his plumber son Gayboi.
