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

Early life[edit]

Wrigley was born on 22 March 1955, and educated at Harrow School.[1] He is a chartered accountant.[1]

Career[edit]

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.[1][2]

From 2009 to June 2014, Wrigley was senior steward (effectively chairman) of the Jockey Club, succeeding Julian Richmond-Watson.[3] After serving a five-year term, he was succeeded by Roger Weatherby.[3]

In December 2017, Wrigley resigned as chairman of Persimmon plc over his role in awarding Jeff Fairburn, the CEO, a £128 million bonus.[4] 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.[4]

Personal life[edit]

Wrigley is married to Venetia, they live in Ganton, North Yorkshire, and have two daughters and one son.[1]
