The name was assumed following Nuffield's gift made to form his Nuffield Foundation in 1943, it linked his business interests to his existing very generous philanthropy. The same enterprises had previously been referred to as the Morris Organizations[1] and at first described itself as The Nuffield Organization, A Cornerstone of Britain's Industrial Structure.[2][note 1]
