About

Henry Royce (1863–1933) was an entrepreneur and inventor. They were born in Huntingdonshire.

In context

Rolls-Royce Limited was founded in 1906 and closed in 1973, after 67 years. Among the 89 other automotive industry companies founded in the 1900s we hold, those that closed lasted a median of 30 years, so this one outlasted most of them.
