[3] He earned a bachelor's degree in mathematics from the University of Sheffield in 1980, followed by a master's degree in operational research from Lancaster University Management School.[2] CareerCousins began in the group operational research department of Cadbury-Schweppes in 1981,[2] being involved in market research and investment projects. In 1984 he joined BTR Industries,[2] again in operational research. He became corporate planning manager for Newey and Eyre (now part of Hagemeyer UK),[2] one of its subsidiaries and an electrical components firm. In 1990 he moved to BPB plc, the British firm which is the world's largest manufacturer of plasterboard and now owned by the French company Saint-Gobain.[4] He went on to be managing director of Abertay Paper Sacks in 1996, President and CEO of Westroc Inc in February 1998 and Group chief executive of BPB in April 2000.[5] Cousins joined Compass in May 2006 as CEO.[4] In 2017, Cousins was named #11 on the 2017 100 Best Performing CEOs in the World by Harvard Business Review;[6] in 2016 he placed 17.[7] He is succeeded as CEO of Compass by Dominic Blakemore. Originally planned for 1 April 2018, the succession was brought forward to 1 January 2018.[8] Personal lifeCousins married Caroline Thorpe in 1982; she died of cancer in 2015.[9][2] Their two sons were William and Edward, both of whom died with their father.[2] They resided in the Chilterns[10] and Tooting.[11] Death{{main|2017 Sydney Seaplanes DHC-2 crash}}Cousins was killed on 31 December 2017 when the light aircraft he was on crashed into the Hawkesbury River in Australia near Cowan, north of Sydney. His two sons, William Cousins (25) and Edward Cousins (23), his fiancée Emma Bowden (48) and her daughter Heather Bowden (11) as well as pilot Gareth Morgan, were also killed in the accident. Emma Bowden was the daughter of Gerald Bowden,[12] the former Conservative Member of Parliament for Dulwich.[13] Cousins, a keen cricket fan, was to attend the Fifth Test of the Ashes series in Sydney with his two sons; the seats were left empty.[14] A year before his death, Cousins changed his will to include a "common tragedy clause", so that if he and his children were to die at the same time, the bulk of his fortune would go to charity. This resulted in the charity Oxfam receiving a £41 million bequest from his estate.[15] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2017/09/21/compass-boss-richard-cousins-step-11-years/|title=Compass boss Richard Cousins to retire after 11 years at helm of catering giant|first=Rhiannon|last=Bury|date=21 September 2017|publisher=|accessdate=2 January 2018|work=The Telegraph}} {{S-start}}{{S-bus}}{{S-bef|before= Mike Bailey }}{{S-ttl|title= Chief Executive of Compass Group|years= May 2006 – December 2017 }}{{S-aft|after= Dominic Blakemore}}{{S-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Cousins, Richard}}2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 7 {{cite web|title=COUSINS, Richard John|url=http://www.ukwhoswho.com/view/article/oupww/whoswho/U12047|website=Who's Who 2017|publisher=Oxford University Press|accessdate=23 July 2017}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/article-1710863/Cousins-pointing-Compass-in-right-direction.html|title=Cousins pointing Compass in right direction|publisher=|accessdate=2 January 2018}} 4. ^1 {{cite web|url=https://www.ft.com/content/9d74eb12-eedb-11e7-b220-857e26d1aca4|title=Richard Cousins, FTSE 100 chief who set new direction for Compass; 1959-2017|date=1 January 2017|accessdate=2 January 2018}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://files.investis.com/bpb/ar_2000/directors.htm|title=Annual Report 2000|publisher=BPB at Investis|accessdate=2 January 2018}} 6. ^Harvard Business Review, November – December 2017, 68 7. ^{{cite web | url=https://hbr.org/2016/11/the-best-performing-ceos-in-the-world | title=The Best-Performing CEOs in the World | work=Harvard Business Review, November – December 2016 | accessdate=January 5, 2018}} 8. ^{{Cite web|url=https://www.compass-group.com/en/media/news/2018/dominic-blakemore.html|title=Dominic Blakemore |publisher=Compass Group|access-date=2018-01-01}} 9. ^{{cite news |url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/millionaire-killed-sydney-plane-crash-11779697 |title=Millionaire killed in Sydney plane crash with fiancee 'was urged to find someone new by first wife before she died of cancer' |work=Daily Mirror |date=2018-01-01 |accessdate=2018-01-01 }} 10. ^{{cite news|last1=Shah|first1=Saeed|title=Richard Cousins: The reluctant batsman who's stepped out to face the French|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/analysis-and-features/richard-cousins-the-reluctant-batsman-whos-stepped-out-to-face-the-french-509164.html|accessdate=23 July 2017|work=The Independent|date=30 September 2005}} 11. ^{{cite news|title=Tooting family killed in Sydney plane crash on New Year's Eve|url=http://www.wandsworthguardian.co.uk/news/15802044.Tooting_family_killed_in_Sydney_plane_crash_on_New_Year_s_Eve/|accessdate=4 January 2018|work=The Wandsworth Guardian|date=2 January 2018}} 12. ^"Ex-Tory MP father of seaplane victim tells of his grief" p. 13, Daily Telegraph, Issue no 50,580, 3 January 2018 13. ^{{cite news |title = Hawkesbury River seaplane: Catering giant CEO Richard Cousins and family killed in New Year's Eve crash |url = http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-01-01/hawkesbury-river-seaplane-crash-victims-confirmed/9296638 |work = ABC News |date = 1 January 2018 |accessdate = 1 January 2018 |df = dmy-all }} 14. ^{{cite web | url=http://www.nzherald.co.nz/sport/news/article.cfm?c_id=4&objectid=11969886 | title=Cricket: Heartbreaking tragedy behind empty seats | work=NZ Herald | date=January 5, 2018 | accessdate=January 5, 2018 | agency=AAP}} 15. ^[https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-45256241 Businessman Richard Cousins 'leaves £41m' to Oxfam] BBC News, 21 August 2018.
