Lord Nuffield wins the 'Great Entrepreneurs of Oxfordshire' competition

After months of vigorous public voting, interactive discussions and a portrait and biography exhibition at Science Oxford, The Oxford Trust are delighted to announce that Lord Nuffield is Oxfordshire's greatest entrepreneur. Over 1000 votes were received of which over 50% were for Lord Nuffield.

Speaking at the Celebration Event at Nuffield College Hugo Brunner, Lord Lieutenant of Oxfordshire, said 'William Morris had an uncanny sense of what is possible to achieve. A famous industrialist, the greatest benefactor.'
