William & Partners is thrilled to share the news that Will Proger, our Founder & CEO, has recently been appointed as the Independent Chair of the Rigby Group Public Markets Investment Committee. Following a competitive interview process, William & Partners will be providing OCIO services to the Rigby family through Will’s appointment as Chair position on their Investment Committee.
Rigby Group was founded in 1975 by Sir Peter Rigby, one of the UK’s most respected entrepreneurs and successful business leaders. Sir Peter’s vision and leadership have seen his initial £2,000 personal investment grow into a £4 billion multinational group of privately-owned businesses, with interests in technology, investments, and real estate.
With more than 8,500 staff and operations in nine countries, Rigby Group is a true and multi-generational family enterprise. It is one of the UK’s top ten wholly family-owned second generation businesses, and in the top 150 globally. Sir Peter remains Chairman, and operations are led by co-CEOs James and Steve.
Will will be working with Steve Rigby, Edouard Carlone and Peter Whitfield to help shape all aspects of the investment strategy, governance, external manager assessment and appointment as well as operational solutions across custody and fintech reporting.
