Sir Roger Michael De Haan, CBE, DL (born October 1948,[3] Northampton) is the son of the late Sidney De Haan, who created the Saga group of companies, best known for selling holidays to the over-50s market.
De Haan took over Saga in 1984 when his father retired, and then ran the company with his brother Peter for a further twenty years, launching Saga-branded radio stations to accompany the group's holidays and financial services.
The Folkestone Harbour and Seafront Development Company is promoting regeneration schemes for the area.
In April 2016, his net worth was estimated at £900 million, according to the Sunday Times Rich List.
