“Important book chronicling the acceptable face of capitalism and the Cadbury chocolate empire. A delicious read.” - Lord Grade “A skilfully-told and meticulously researched book detailing the life of a renaissance man.” - Ian King, Business Presenter, Sky News “Compelling biography…the timing is impeccable as Cadbury celebrates its 200th anniversary.” - Lord Macpherson “Excellent book. Adrian Cadbury was a huge figure in his day and a biography is well overdue.” - Paul Murphy, Executive Editor, the Financial Times “I was thrilled to see Donovan’s book, which does a great job of charting the life and contribution of this towering pillar of British industry, and the trailblazing part that he played in business ethics and governance.” Eve Poole, Country Life
