Frederick Richard Simms is the man behind the Simms name and brand. He was, first and foremost, a mechanical engineer, but also a businessman, inventor, and a pioneer in the motor industry. He founded the RAC and the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

Simms Manufacturing Company Ltd was established in 1903 in Kilburn, London, and it was Simms’s first major business venture. Here they made quite a wide variety of products that included cars, lorries, guns, military vehicles, engines (including marine engines) agricultural vehicles, and aeronautical devices. In addition to the manufacturing company, he also established Simms Motor Units Ltd in 1913. This business sold and repaired components, particularly dynamos and magnetos.

A range of diesel fuel injectors were developed by Simms in partnership with Leyland Motors. This relationship developed the Uniflow injection pump in 1937.

Simms Motor Units produced a number of parts that went into the manufacture of a number of vehicles, particularly for the World War II period and beyond. Post- war the company experienced significant expansion, partly by company acquisition. Its parts were used extensively in agricultural machinery, including tractors, as well as other vehicles.

Simms Motor Units was taken over by Lucas CAV in 1968.
