The prestigious Non-Executive Director Awards recognise the
achievements of Non-Executive Directors who contribute to the
success of businesses and not-for-profit organisations across the
UK.
Sir Peter has been the Chairman of Burford since its founding in
2009, guiding it through an IPO, a follow-on equity offering, four
successful public bond issues and three acquisitions. Under his
leadership, Burford has grown from a start-up to a
multi-billion-pound business with a 1200% stock price increase in
less than a decade. Burford has enjoyed the rewards of his
strategic leadership, reaching $341 million in income and returns
on equity of 37% in 2017.
Congratulating Sir Peter on behalf of Burford, CEO Christopher
Bogart commented:
“We’re grateful for Sir Peter’s strategic and hands-on
leadership as Burford’s Chairman since our inception, and couldn’t
be more pleased to see him receive this well-deserved award. Sir
Peter is the consummate Chairman of Burford, leading Non-Executive
Directors in scrutinising and challenging strategy, and providing
insightful guidance informed by his significant private and
public-sector experience. He was instrumental in Burford’s
expansion into the UK and also serves as the Chairman of Burford’s
UK business. He is a paragon of good governance and corporate
ethics, playing a key external role as an alternative conduit to
the Board for our shareholders and internally driving the emergence
of a rigorous risk assessment and management culture at Burford as
the organisation has grown—resulting in the industry’s leading
proprietary risk management scheme.”
