Britain’s top industrialist Simon Peckham is urging UK business leaders to take bolder risks and the government to actively support, not hinder, investment in the London stock market. With his latest firm, Rosebank, already raising £3 billion and hitting FTSE 250 status with a first dividend just two years after listing, Peckham argues that high UK taxes and excessive regulation stifle entrepreneurial growth. He’s eyeing another US acquisition within a year, citing faster turnarounds there, while insisting capital is available for compelling plans—even amid tougher European employment laws. His call comes as UK pension funds pull back from domestic markets, prompting officials to rethink how they can reignite investor confidence and fuel economic expansion.
