Philip Green
Director/Board Member chez Meggitt Advanced Composites Ltd.
Profil
Milliardaire britannique, Philip Green est connu pour ses succès commerciaux, son anticonformisme, ses dépenses vertigineuses et sa causticité qui n'épargne pas grand monde. Septième plus grande fortune de Grande Bretagne, il partage avec sa femme Christina quelques 3,6 milliards de livres selon le Sunday Times.
Après avoir quitté l'école à l'âge de 15 ans, Philip Green travaille pour un importateur de chaussures avant de se rendre aux États-Unis, en Europe et en Extrême-Orient. A son retour, il emprunte 20.000 livres et crée sa première entreprise d'importation de jeans qu'il revend à des détaillants à Londres.
En 1979, Philip Green rachète un grand stock de vêtements de saisie à prix extrêmement bas. Cette fois-ci, il décide de créer sa propre boutique pour les vendre.
En 1988, il est devient Président de Amber Day, une société de vente au détail cotée en bourse.
Au début des années 90, Philip Green rachète la chaîne de grands magasins Owen Owen, puis Olympus Sports en 1995, revendue trois ans plus tard à JJB Sports pour 550 millions de livres.
En 1999, Philip Green se fait connaitre du public lors de sa tentative d'OPA hostile sur Marks and Spencer. Une opération bloquée avec vigueur par le conseil d'administration de la plus célèbre chaine de magasins britannique. Contrarié, Green se tourne vers la chaine de magasins British Home Stores (BHS) qu'il acquiert en 2000.
Deux ans plus tard, c'est au tour d'Arcadia Group, qui détient les célèbres enseignes Burton, Dorothy Perkins, Evans, Miss Selfridge, Outfit, Topshop / Topman et Wallis de tomber dans l'escarcelle de l'homme d'affaires britannique. Plus récemment, c'est la chaîne Etam qui a été acquise par le groupe.
Le 20 Octobre 2005, Green a distribué aux actionnaires d'Arcadia Group des dividendes de l'ordre de 1,3 milliards de livres. Lui et sa femme, conjointement propriétaires de 92% du groupe, ont donc reçu 1,17 milliards de livres... C'est le plus gros dividende jamais perçu par un individu dans l'histoire de l'entreprise britannique.
En 2006, Philip Green a été anobli au rang de chevalier.
