Peter Borre

Peter Borre (2 September 1716 – 20 December 1789) was a Danish merchant and slave trader.

The company traded in the Danish West Indies with its own fleet of merchant ships.

He was the principal participant in the General Trading Company from 1753 and from 1759 served as its managing director until it was taken over by the crown in 1774.

On 18 June 1751 Borre married Sophia Aagaard (1735–1778), daughter of merchant Oluf Hansen Aaaard (1689–1749) and Anna Elisabeth Tvede (1708–1747).

This made him the brother-in-law of Johan Peter Suhr and merchant and later landowner Mathias Wassard.
