T om Morris is a self-made British billionaire and the founder of the discount retail chain Home Bargains. His is a classic, low-profile retail success story. He started his business in 1976, opening a single store in Liverpool. From this humble beginning, he has built Home Bargains into one of the largest and most successful privately owned companies in the United Kingdom. The company's motto is "Top Brands, Bottom Prices," and it has thrived by offering a wide range of branded goods at deeply discounted prices.

The chain has grown into a massive network of hundreds of stores across the UK, and it continues to expand aggressively. The company remains under the firm control of the Morris family. Tom and his brothers, Joe and Charles, are all involved in the business. Despite the immense success and scale of his retail empire, Tom Morris is known for being extremely publicity-shy, rarely giving interviews or allowing himself to be photographed, and for maintaining a frugal lifestyle.
