Sir David Reddaway KCMG MBE (born 26 April 1953) is Chief Executive and Clerk of the Goldsmiths’ Company in the City of London. He is a retired British diplomat who was High Commissioner to Canada and Ambassador to Ireland and Turkey.
Reddaway was born in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, where his father, Norman Reddaway, also a British diplomat, was posted at the time. He attended King’s College School, Cambridge and Oundle School, then studied History at Fitzwilliam College, Cambridge, where his grandfather, the historian William Fiddian Reddaway, had served as Censor. He joined the Foreign and Commonwealth Office in 1975. His career has included assignments to Iran (during the Iranian revolution), India, Spain, Argentina and Afghanistan.
Reddaway was appointed MBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honours of 1980, CMG in 1993, and knighted KCMG in the 2013 Birthday Honours “for services to British diplomacy and furthering UK interests in Turkey”.
David Reddaway married Roshan Firouz in the late summer of 1981, thereby gaining Louise Firouz as his mother in law. The marriage was followed by the births of the couple’s two sons and one daughter.
In 2002, his appointment as British ambassador to Iran was rejected by the Iranian government, with some Iranian newspapers incorrectly accusing him of being “a Jew and a member of MI6”. He speaks fluent Persian.
He served as High Commissioner to Canada between 2003 and 2006. In 2006 he was appointed the British ambassador to Ireland and presented his diplomatic credentials to the President of Ireland, Mary McAleese on 12 September 2006, succeeding Stewart Eldon as British ambassador to Ireland.
He was appointed to Turkey in 2009, and left Ankara in January 2014.
Reddaway had the honour of celebrating his 64th birthday at a Chris de Burgh concert. De Burgh announced Sir David’s birthday to a packed audience at the London Palladium on April 26, 2017, and gave a brief account of his role as a diplomat. He then sang the Beatles song ‘When I’m 64.’
