Dr David Ross, the Grimsby-born founder of Carphone Warehouse and Lincolnshire’s first billionaire, has visited the University of Lincoln building that bears his name, giving a Great Lives lecture on his journey through business.
To date, the Ross Foundation issued nearly £27 million in grants to increase education, sports and arts access across the UK, including creating the David Ross Education Trust which operates 34 schools nationally, and 10 in Lincolnshire.

He added: “A lot of people these days spend a lot of time analysing their business plan, working out not only the plan, but also the marketing strategy and how it’s all this going to work. “We’ve all survived for years and years with this sort of 15-page document on how to turn it on and turn it off. Steve Jobs said to his engineers that either it’s intuitive and they can use it, or they won’t be able to use it.
Dr Ross said that it is important for every country to have a history they are proud of, while also acknowledging “deeply complex” narratives around our past.
