David Graham Stevens, Group Chief Executive Office, Admiral Group plc

From Oxford, to Cadburys to Admiral, David had a varied and interesting start to his career and Henry Englehardt’s invitation to join him in 1991 to help set up Admiral was well timed and gratefully received.

David became Admiral’s CEO after Henry stepped down in 2016 and handed over to Milena Mondini at the end of 2020.

David married one of the other founding managers of Admiral, Heather Naylor, in 1994 and they have three children.

In 2007, David and Heather started their own charitable foundation, The Waterloo Foundation (TWF). The Foundation mainly focusses help on: world development; environment; child development and supporting areas in Wales that are underfunded areas, such as unpaid carers.
