The Bishop of Leicester has joined the tributes to a businessman who helped change the shape of modern food manufacturing and helped his family’s business into a £1.4 billion turnover giant.
Former Samworth Brothers chief executive, chairman and latterly its life-president, Sir David Samworth CBE DL died on August 16 following a short illness. He was 87.
Sir David joined the family firm – at the time called TN Parr – in 1956 having completed his national service with the Royal Leicestershires.
