BBC News - Wanted: A new breed of business leaders like Cadburys?
"For a century, the Cadburys had offered an enduring vision of caring capitalism. As Quakers, they established Bournville, the leafy threshold to their south Birmingham factory, a model village enshrining their ideal secure, caring living environment for their workforce. "
