UKBAA Director Stephen Pegge awarded OBE for services to business

The UK Business Angels Association congratulates all those recognised in this year’s King’s Birthday Honours list, and we are especially proud to celebrate our Director, Stephen Pegge, who has been awarded an OBE for services to business.

With a forty-year background in finance, Stephen has held senior executive positions at Lloyds Banking Group and UK Finance, and has been a Director of UKBAA for over fifteen years. His work has consistently championed entrepreneurs, innovation, and inclusive economic growth.

In addition to his contributions to early-stage finance, Stephen serves as a trustee of Shaw Trust and Shaw Education Trust, and is a Director of the Business Banking Resolution Service. He has chaired one of HM the King’s charities and several government steering groups focused on enterprise and finance.

Stephen shared, “I am honoured today to have been recognised with an OBE by the King in His Majesty’s birthday honours list. I’m particularly delighted that this is for services to business as, in my banking career, I always worked to support entrepreneurs, trade and industry. We all owe them a great debt for the innovation, prosperity, and opportunities they create. I’ve been privileged to work with many talented business leaders including in finance, production and services, charities and education and receiving this award is very much thanks to them.”

We warmly congratulate Stephen on this well-earned recognition and thank him for his ongoing leadership and service to the entrepreneurial finance ecosystem.
