London-based data consultancy Sagacity has announced the appointment of former British Gas MD, Ian Peters, as its new Chairman. The move precedes an anticipated period of significant growth for the company in 2024. Peters has been advising the company strategically since 2018, and will now lead Sagacity's boardroom and veteran management team.

Peters has gathered expansive managerial experience in several of the UK's largest and niche companies across various industries including Energy, Housing, Non-Profit, and Public sectors.

She also highlighted the importance of his leadership and experience in Sagacity's growth and assured that his expertise will greatly contribute to transforming the company's solutions and services, and facilitating the achievement of their growth strategy.

Peters also shared his satisfaction regarding his new role. "I am delighted to become Sagacity's Chair and increase my support to Anita, Malka, Harry, and the Sagacity team. I have advised the business for five years, understand what Sagacity embodies and firmly believe that the company is well placed for successful growth. I will steer the business to ensure that our existing and future clients receive tangible benefits, innovative solutions, and substantial return on their investment," Peters stated.
