Stephen Haddrill is Chief Executive Officer of the Financial Reporting Council (FRC) in the United Kingdom.
Stephen was previously Director General of the ABI from May 2005. In December 2008, Stephen was appointed as a member of the Financial Crisis Advisory Group (FCAG), the high-level advisory group set up by the International Accounting Standards Board and the Financial Accounting Standards Board to consider financial reporting issues arising from the global financial crisis.
In October 2007, Stephen was appointed Vice President and Chair of the Board of the Institute for Employment Studies, the UK's leading employment and human resources experts.
Stephen was Director General, Fair Markets Group at the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), where he was responsible for the development of the framework within which business operates, including the competition and consumer framework, employment relations, company law, women and equality issues, and also trade and European issues. He held this position from January 2002.
Prior to this, from 1998 until Spring 2002, he held other positions within the DTI, including Director of Employment Relations, and Consumer Affairs. From 1994 to 1998 he was a director of the DTI’s Competitiveness Unit, a central policy team reporting directly to the Secretary of State.
From 1990 to 1994 he left the UK civil service to work for the Hong Kong Government as a member of the Governor’s Central Policy Unit.
Stephen studied history and economics at Oxford University and joined the Department of Energy in 1978 where he held a number of posts, principally on nuclear issues and as Principal Private Secretary to the Secretary of State for Energy. Educated at Trinity School of John Whitgift from 1967 to 1974, Hadrill then studied history and economics at New College, Oxford.
He joined the Department of Energy in 1978.
From 1990 to 1994 he worked in Hong Kong as a member of the Governor’s Central Policy Unit.
From 1994 until 2005, he had a succession of roles in the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI), as a director of the Competitiveness Unit, Director of Employment Relations, then in Consumer Affairs. In early 2002 he was appointed as Director General of the DTI's Fair Markets Group.
He succeeded Mary Francis as Director General of the Association of British Insurers (ABI) on 3 May 2005.
In this role Haddrill has taken a close interest in accounting standards, and is the UK representative on the Financial Crisis Advisory Group, an international group of standard-setting bodies coordinating responses to the financial crisis of 2007–2010.[1]
The Financial Reporting Council announced in May 2009 that Haddrill will succeed Paul Boyle as its Director General. Sir Christopher Hogg, chairman of the FRC, said Haddrill's experience at the ABI would 'enable him to bring a strong investor perspective to the work of the FRC.'[2]
