Robinson in 1874 and with his brother Edward steered it towards a limited company. His priority was always the business over County Cricket.[2] In 1874 he made a substantial donation to Marlborough College to enable the building of the cricket pavilion.[3] He was the President of the Grateful Society in 1893.[4]
