2018

We are very pleased to announce that Colin Colvin has been elected as the new chairman of UKSA.

Last weekend the Sunday Telegraph carried a front-page Business section article on Persimmon's controversial long-term incentive plan, which was devised in 2012. UKSA had severely criticised the scheme at the time. In this article, UKSA's past Chairman John Hunter explains the defects of the scheme. The article can be found here (paywall).

The content will be enriched steadily over the coming weeks.
