Michael Vyvyan Spurway OBE (24 January 1909 – 7 July 2007) was a British civil servant in the Colonial Service and later a businessman.
He also played county cricket for Somerset, and served as a pilot in the RAF in the Second World War.
Spurway and his twin sister were born in Heathfield near Taunton in Somerset, the youngest of six children.
By the end of the War, he held the rank of Wing Commander, and had been mentioned in dispatches and received the OBE.
He retired from the civil service in 1953, and returned to England to become a partner in a management consultancy firm, Urwick Orr, where he advised companies in the steel and brewing industries.
He also served as deputy chairman and chief executive of the steel foundry and engineering group, Lake & Elliot.
On one occasion, he shot 250 pheasants at one stand with one gun; another time, he caught a salmon weighing 32 lb.
He had also hunted big game in Africa, and enjoyed fast cars, driving an Aston Martin.
