George Cadbury

George Cadbury (1839-1922) was a prominent British businessman and philanthropist, best known for co-founding the Cadbury chocolate company with his brother, Richard. Established in Birmingham in the late 19th century, Cadbury became renowned for its high-quality chocolate products. Beyond business, George was committed to social reform; he advocated for better working conditions and housing for employees, exemplified by the creation of Bournville, a model village for workers. His legacy includes not only the popularization of chocolate but also significant contributions to ethical business practices and community welfare.
