Sir Ian Michael Cheshire (born 6 August 1959) is a British businessman, previously Chief Executive of Kingfisher plc, a British multinational retailing company, the largest home improvement retailer in Europe and the third-largest in the world. Cheshire was educated at The King's School, Canterbury, and graduated in economics and law from Christ's College, Cambridge. Cheshire's first job was with Boston Consulting Group, before working for Guinness, as Ernest Saunders' executive assistant, and Sears, before joining Kingfisher as strategy director in 1998. In January 2008, Kingfisher appointed Cheshire as Group Chief Executive. In 2012, Cheshire won The Guardian Sustainable Business Leader of the Year award. His vision of B&Q "customers renting power drills as opposed to buying them" (drills are used for a mere six minutes a year on average) has captured imaginations, and is a widely used example of a mainstream business adopting a more collaborative approach to its products and services. He was knighted in the 2014 New Year Honours for services to business, sustainability, and the environment. In September 2014, it was announced that Véronique Laury would replace Cheshire as CEO of Kingfisher from February 2015. ==Notes== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ian Cheshire (businessman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
