The Merchant Princes

by Carol Kennedy

Britain's three great trading families - the Sainsburys, the Cadburys and the Lewises - are examined for the first time in detail in this book. They represent very different styles of management, business ethos, social conscience and philanthropy. Pioneers, innovators and canny businessmen, these three families changed the face of commerce with bold new ideas, one of them by giving away an entire inheritance to its workers.
