Career

Brought up in Bradford, West Yorkshire, William Morrison started selling eggs and butter on a wholesale basis in 1899. Shortly afterwards he opened a stall in Bradford and then others in nearby towns. He opened his first proper stores in the 1920s - but still only in the Bradford area.

His son Ken Morrison took over as Chairman in 1956 following William's death.
