Yea was in such demand in 2004 that he turned down the chief executive's job at British Land to take the same title at 3i Group, where he became the first "outsider" to run the company. He joined after five years in private equity with Investcorp and quickly showed his independence by changing the co-investment rules for 3i executives - the group was previously different from other private equity firms in that managers were not obliged to put their money into deals. telegraph.co.uk
