Remembering David Potter: Industrialist, physicist, philanthropist
David Potter, who died on 28 June, was the UK’s pioneering engineer and entrepreneur of the computer age. In 1980, he founded Psion, a technology company that went on to create the world’s first hand-held organiser four years later. He then oversaw the creation of Symbian, the standard operating system for mobiles. Later, he served two terms as a non-executive director of the Bank of England, a period that included the financial crash of 2007, which confirmed his loathing of US financial influence.
