Richard Samuel Elman (born May 3, 1940) is a British businessman, the founder and Chairman of Singapore-listed, Hong Kong–based, Noble Group Limited. He also serves as a Member of Board of Directors of Clearbridge Accelerator.[2]
Richard Elman was born to a barrister father, Peter, and a mother, Frances (née Tuckman), who made women's clothes. At the age of 15, he started work as a labourer in a scrap metal yard sorting out non-ferrous scrap metal. Elman moved from the UK to the US (marrying, for the first time, in 1962, in San Jose), then to Asia, in the 1960s.[3][4] He worked as Regional Director of Asia operations for Phibro for ten years.[1]
