A bust of Sam Morris by Jonathan Wylder at the Business Design Centre

Sam Morris (1917-1991) was a British businessman who in the mid 1980s bought the Royal Agricultural Hall in Islington, London, and turned it into the Business Design Centre (BDC).[1][2][3] Morris is remembered by a bust on the upper level of the BDC and a charitable trust run by his sons.[4]
