Lord Nuffield began his working life as a repairer of bicycles for a local company. When he was refused a raise in salary, he left the company and set out on his own; repairing and making cycles. He later gravitated to making motor cycles and later to motor vehicles. He created Morris Garages or MG as it is known across the world, and later bought Riley, Wolsely and various other motor marques. He entered into a disastrous venture with Budd in the USA to create the Pressed Steel Company. After a falling out with the co-owner, the high court ordered Morris to relinquish his part of the business to Budd.
Lord Nuffield founded the Nuffield Foundation; a philanthropic organisation, which exists to this day. Over the course of his life he gave away the modern equivalent of £700m.
Although created a Lord he and his wife had simple tastes. His house "Nuffield Place" in Huntercombe was designed in 1914 and he and his wife lived there from 1933 until his death in the 1960's. It is a large house, although not a mansion or stately ancestral pile. It was furnished for comfort not for show. The house was recently donated to the National Trust by Nuffield College.
