Mike Clasper
Mike Clasper is the former Chairman of HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC). A former boss of BAA, he joined HMRC in August 2008 after a one-year stint at private equity firm Terra Firma Capital Partners. [1]
BAA chief
Clasper ran BAA between 2001 and 2006, leaving after its £10.1bn takeover by Spanish construction group Ferrovial.[1]
Restoring public confidence in HMRC
Sunderland-born Clasper apparently took a pay cut for the HMRC role, earning £150,000 for a three-day week. Part of his brief was to rebuild public confidence in an organisation rocked by the major security breach of a loss of a copy of the full child benefit database, which had led to the resignation of his predecessor Paul Gray.[1]
