dbo:abstract
  • Sir Maurice Arthur Eric Hodgson FREng FIChemE FRSC (21 October 1919 – 1 October 2014) was chairman of ICI from 1978–1982, and of British Home Stores from 1982–1987 and chief executive from 1982–1985. Hodgson was appointed knight bachelor in 1979. He also received an Honorary Doctorate from Heriot-Watt University in 1979. As chairman, Hodgson felt that ICI needed to increase business in Europe, improve productivity and shift from bulk chemicals to higher value-added products. A fierce efficiency drive led to the loss of 30,000 jobs. His successor John Harvey-Jones carried out many of the changes that Hodgson had initiated. (en)
