Born to Jewish parents in Kiev , in the Russian Empire (present-day Ukraine ), Sir Leon studied law at Birkbeck College in the University of London , formed his own company in 1935, and for many years headed the revamped firm of Elliott-Automation Ltd. , which, outside the United States , was the largest computer manufacturer in the world.[1]
Leon Bagrit was a member of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research , 1963–1965 and the Advisory Council on Technology, 1964-1979. He was a director of the Royal Opera House , Covent Garden, 1962-1970. He founded the Friends of Covent Garden, and chaired it, 1962-1969. In 1964, he was invited by the BBC to present the Reith Lectures .[2] The Age of Automation ,[3]
Due to the generosity of the Bagrit Trust , a dedicated building, the Sir Leon Bagrit Centre, was opened in the summer of 1991. This Centre formed a cornerstone of the Department of Bioengineering at Imperial College London and the next step in the development of bioengineering at Imperial.[4]
