The grandson of the founder of the company, H.F.S. Morgan, and the son of the company's former chairman Peter Morgan, Charles Morgan joined the family firm full-time in 1985. Previously he had worked for 10 years as a news cameraman for ITN and then briefly in the publishing industry. After the Morgan Motor Company was featured on the BBC's Troubleshooter in 1991, he obtained an MBA. In 2013, he was removed as Morgan's managing director and continued as strategy director until October 2013, when he was voted off the company's board. He remains a minority shareholder.
He and the Company and other family shareholders promptly sued each other.
In 2019, he and the Family sold their entire interest in the company to InvestIndustriel, a potent multinational owned/controlled by Morgan enthusiasts.
