Doriot Distinguished Speaker Series
Leaders for the World
Thursday 6 November, 19:00 – 21:30
This event is sponsored by Russell Reynolds
We are excited to announce the next event in the Doriot Distinguished Speaker Series, a programme of thought leadership, lifelong learning and alumni networking.
Join us for an engaging and thought-provoking session with Henry Engelhardt CBE (MBA 88J), founder and CEO emeritus of Admiral Group plc. From creating Admiral in 1991 to leading it as the UK’s largest private car insurer and Wales’ only FTSE 100 company, Henry is widely respected for building not just a successful business, but a world-class culture.
Throughout his leadership, Henry embraced a philosophy that every professional experience – good or bad – is a learning experience. His book, Be A Better Boss, and this session reflect that mindset, offering practical, real-world insights on what makes an effective leader. Henry will share how developing strong, cohesive teams and nurturing a vibrant, values-driven organisational culture are essential to scaling a business sustainably.
Admiral’s success, including consistent top rankings in the Sunday Times Best Companies To Work For list, is a testament to Henry’s belief that “if people like what they do, they’ll do it better.” Now semi-retired, he devotes his time to coaching, corporate and MBA lectures, and writing—motivated by a desire to help more people become great leaders in a world where they are urgently needed.
With nearly 50 years of experience, a BA from the University of Michigan, an MBAfrom INSEAD, a CBE, and multiple Best Leader awards, Henry brings a depth of experience and wisdom few can match. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from one of the UK’s most admired business figures.
