MORI Board Restructured

UK agency MORI has restructured its board, appointing two Non-Executive Directors (NEDs), Sir Andrew Likierman and Dr Keith Burgess, and two executives representing the company's minority financial investors, Will Wyatt of Caledonia and Adam Holloway of ISIS Asset Management.

MORI is the UK's largest privately owned MR agency and now the 20th largest in the world according to 'Inside Research' rankings. The new appointees join Executive Directors Brian Gosschalk, MORI CEO, Mike Everett, MORI (UK) MD, and Chairman and founder Professor Robert Worcester.

Sir Andrew is Professor of Management Practice at London Business School and a Director of the Bank of England, Barclays Bank plc and the Tavistock and Portman NHS Trust. In the public sector he was a member of the Cabinet Office Central Policy Review Staff (the 'Think Tank') and has recently completed a 10-year period as one of the MDs of the UK Treasury and Head of the UK Government Accountancy Service. He was also the founder director of the Executive MBA programme at LBS.

Dr. Burgess OBE, who spent 30 years at Accenture / previously Andersen Consulting, is currently Chairman of IT consultancy QA plc, a strategic advisor to EDS and Vice Chairman of the Public Services productivity Panel at HM Treasury. He is a past president of the Management Consultancy Association.

Announcing the changes Prof Worcester said 'The appointment of these two outstanding individuals is a testament to the stature of the firm, and its standing ... as one of the world's largest and fastest growing market research firms, and one of the few still with a majority of its ownership held by its staff'.
