Biography

George Cadbury Jr was the second son of George Cadbury and his first wife, Mary. He grew up in the house which is now occupied by the Woodbrooke Quaker Study Centre near Birmingham, England. He was educated, like his brothers, at the Quaker Leighton Park School.
A Director and later Chairman of Cadburys Ltd, he was interested in the scientific and chemical aspects of the business, including standardising recipes and recording them in a book. After ten years of developing milk chocolate with his R&D team, in 1905 he launched Cadbury Dairy Milk. The bar was a great sales success, and became the company's best-selling product by 1914.
