David Charles Ord is a British businessman. Ord graduated from University College London and was a Sloan Fellow of the London Business School.〔 He is the co-owner and Managing Director of the Bristol Port Company,〔 which owns Royal Portbury Dock and Avonmouth Docks which make up the modern Port of Bristol. The docks were operated by the Port of Bristol Authority, part of Bristol City Council, until 1991, when the council granted a 150-year lease to the Bristol Port Company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bristolport.co.uk/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ports.org.uk/port.asp?id=219 )〕 In 2014 the council sold the freehold of the port to the company for £10 million, but retained a 12.5% non voting stake in the company.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.southwestbusiness.co.uk/news/25032014091821-bristol-mayor-george-ferguson-to-sell-avonmouth-docks-freehold-/ )〕 He was non-executive chairman of Mitie from 2003 to 2008 and was the south west regional treasurer of the Conservative Party from 1999.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theconservativefoundation.co.uk/index.php?page=who&win=board&item=David_Ord )〕 He is a member of the Society of Merchant Venturers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://merchantventurers.com/about-us/membership/david-ord/ )〕 He made donations to the local Conservative party, which lead to member of parliament Charlotte Leslie, being accused of not declaring these as being potentially relevant to her opposition to the Severn Barrage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-bristol-26948412 )〕 She was later cleared of wrongdoing in relation to the declaration of the donations.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.parliament.uk/documents/pcfs/rectifications/rectification-letter-written-evidence-16-July-2014.pdf )〕 His larger donations, estimated to be £77,500 in 2013, to the national conservative party led to speculation about his influence in connection with plans for the barrage. He is a director of Open Europe, a think tank promoting ideas for economic and political reform of the European Union. He is chairman of the Trade Policy Research Centre.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://tprc.org.uk/pages/about-the-tprc.php )〕 Ord was awarded an honorary Doctor of Laws degree by the University of Bristol on 17 July 2015.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bristol.ac.uk/news/2015/july/hon-degrees---17-july.html )〕 ==References== 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「David Ord」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
