Early life William Richard Sutton was born in 1833 at London's Cheapside. Career Sutton founded the business of Sutton and Co., general carriers in 1861.

The railway companies obstructed this and Sutton took them to court with a case that lasted over seven years; the House of Lords ruled to break the railway companies' monopoly on pricing and allowed him to deliver packages door-to-door. At his death in 1900 his business had grown to 600 branches. Sutton Carriers was even ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
