While not the first aircraft manufacturer in Britain, Bristol had the distinct advantage of being created by a well- established businessman, rather than an enthusiastic aviator, by the name of Sir George White. Born in Cotham, Bristol in 1854, White’s business experience began when he was a junior clerk working for a group of solicitors. It was while working on bankruptcy cases that White quickly learned how businesses should be run and this stood him in good stead for the future. In 1874, White was appointed as Company Secretary of the newly formed Bristol Tramway Company, rising to chairman in 1900, a position that he held until his death in 1916.
