Sunday Times Rich List features Dunelm chief executive from Rutland

The latest Sunday Times Rich List features a billionaire retailer who lives in Rutland.

Published online today at thesundaytimes.co.uk/richlist and in the print edition of the newspaper on Sunday (May 21), the 68-page special reveals the wealth of the 350 richest people in Britain.

Sir Will Adderley and his family, who live in Rutland, have made the list with an estimated fortune of £1.885 billion, up by £105 million since last year.

Sir Will is the son of Dunelm home furnishing founder Bill Adderley.

He took over the day-to-day running of the business from his father in 1996 having begun his career aged nine, manning the tills.

He is now the chief executive.

Sir Will made the Queen’s Birthday Honours list in 2021 for his ‘contribution to social mobility in the most disadvantaged areas of the UK’.
