The company was established in July 1933 as Morris Industries Exports Ltd., with Sir William Morris as Governing Director, to undertake the export of Morris products. The name was changed to Nuffield Exports Ltd. in July 1945, after the administrative reorganisation associated with Sir Miles Thomas, following his appointment as vice-chairman of Morris Motors in 1940.
