Our guest today is behind arguably the greatest entrepreneurial success story in Wales of the last 30 years. From a start up with just 57 employees to the only FTSE 100 company based in Wales, a 15,000-strong team and turnover in the billions, founder and CEO Emeritus of Admiral Group, Henry Engelhardt, has certainly left his mark on the UK's business sector.
In this episode we talk to him about the story behind his success, but it's not our main focus. And that's because Henry's impact beyond his commercial success is equally significant. Since 2010, his foundation, Moondance, has given more than £200m in support to charities across Wales and indeed the world.
Mary Rose and Henry lift the lid on lessons Henry's learnt from his time leading a multibillion pound business and how it applies to his philanthropic work, how place-based can create lasting change for the communities closest to your heart, and why making a big impact isn’t just about the size of the grant - it’s about giving the right organisations the support they need at the right time.
