Jeremy Joseph Fry (19 May 1924 – 18 July 2005) was a British inventor, engineer, entrepreneur, adventurer and arts patron.
After the war, Fry took up motorsport[2] driving a 500cc Parsenn[3] but quit after his cousin Joe was killed at Blandford.
As chairman, he oversaw Rotork's rise to becoming the market leader in equipment for use in oil and gas pipelines, refineries, power stations and waste water plants, and a member of the FTSE 250 Index.
His friend Tony Richardson, the film and theatre director, described Fry (and their many travels together) in his autobiography Long Distance Runner (London, 1993; pp. 187–90).
[6][clarification needed] In 2004, Polly Fry, Jeremy's daughter with Camilla, claimed that her biological father had in fact been Armstrong-Jones.
