Steve’s story

Steve Morgan is an entrepreneur, a philanthropist, and Chairman of Bridgemere. At the age of 21 he established Redrow, which he grew to be a FTSE 250 company, and one of the UK’s most successful homebuilders. Steve stepped down as Chairman of Redrow in 2019 having guided the business to record levels of trading and profitability, with a turnover of £2.1 billion and profit before tax of £406 million. He founded the Steve Morgan Foundation in 2021, which is one of the largest funding charities in the UK. Steve has personally donated over £300 million to date. In 1992 Steve received an OBE for Services to the Construction Industry and, in 2016, received a CBE for Philanthropic Services.

Strong relationships lie at the heart of everything we do at the Foundation and we relish working with like-minded strategic partners to best achieve our vision of changing lives for good. Through our work with both large national, and local organisations, we believe that the greatest impact and difference to those in need is realised by working together over the long term. We work alongside our strategic partners to achieve our joint ambitions and goals; we share our expertise, knowledge and best practice, in addition to funding to ensure that our joint impact can be maximised.
