- Rolls-Royce
How did a humble Lancashire engineer and a wealthy, adventurous car salesman build one of Britain’s most famous marques? In the first episode of Albion, Owen and Aurelian trace Rolls-Royce’s beginnings: Henry Royce’s relentless drive for perfection, Charles Rolls’ life as a pioneering aviator, their unlikely partnership, and the Silver Ghost’s rise to fame. From Royce rebuilding a car he couldn’t stand to the model hailed as “the best car in the world,” discover the people and ideas behind the legend.

About Albion - The Business Podcast
From the publisher's feed
Albion is a monthly, ~90-minute podcast where we dive deep into the British companies that shaped industries—then argue (politely) about what actually drove their success,…
failures, and turning points.
We’re inspired by Acquired: big, narrative company breakdowns with real business analysis. But our lane is firmly UK—one company per episode (and occasional multi-part series), told in plain English with a bit of unscripted humour. Expect origin stories, business models, competitive battles, key decisions, and the lessons worth stealing—without the buzzword soup.
