In November 2000, after 26 years, Morgan stepped down as Redrow chairman, although his company, Bridgemere, remained one of its largest shareholders. In 2001 Morgan founded Brownfield specialist company Harrow Estates plc. In March 2009, however, Redrow's shares having dropped to less than 100p, Morgan was urged by Toscafund Chief Executive Martin Hughes to return and he rejoined the board as chairman after having rebuilt his stake in the company, in order to address the significant losses suffered by Redrow during the financial crisis. In a 2012 interview with the BBC's Economist Correspondent, Sarah Dickens, Morgan discussed his reasons for returning to Redrow, which by the time of the interview, had turned the inherited £140 million loss into a £43 million pre-tax profit.
