George Herbert Skinner (also known as Bert) and Thomas Carlyle Skinner (also known as Carl) are the two names we have to thank for the creation of the SU brand.
If they hadn’t experimented with fuel mixture in the early 1900s, they wouldn’t have made their first carburetter in 1904 and they certainly wouldn’t have formed The SU Company in 1910. We owe George and Thomas a great debt of gratitude for creating the legendary SU brand. Read through the chapters which show the history here.
