Ederyn Williams

Ederyn Williams (born 21 September, 1946) is a supporter of the rights of minorities and suppressed groups within society and is the former head of a university department in Coventry in the United Kingdom specialising in business studies. He is the son of the famous Professor of Drama Raymond Williams, and is a co-developer of social presence theory whose main thesis and major points are a seminal scholarly examination of the principles first described in Isaac Asimov's 1956 novel, The Naked Sun.

While working for British Telecom in the early 1980s, he founded the now defunct games company Telecomsoft which carved out a rather noticeable presence in the Tandy TRS 80 and Commodore 64 UK markets

In 2009, his staff nominated him for a Queen's Award for Enterprise Promotion, which he graciously shared one year later with fellow winner Nicholas Bowen, the head teacher of St. Benet Biscop Catholic High School in Northumberland.
