Cadbury, George

Cadbury, George
(19 sep. 1839, Birmingham, Warwickshire, Inglaterra–24 oct. 1922, Birmingham).

Hombre de negocios y reformador social británico. En 1861 se hizo cargo con su hermano Richard de los alicaídos negocios de su padre que lograron transformar en la muy próspera empresa fabricante de cacao y chocolates conocida como Cadbury Brothers. Los hermanos Cadbury mejoraron las condiciones laborales e introdujeron un programa privado de seguridad social para sus empleados. George se destacó también por sus exitosos experimentos en materia de viviendas y planificación urbana en Bournville, donde construyó casas con amplios jardines a un precio asequible para la clase obrera.
