Annual Report & Accounts 2007

We were founded over a hundred years ago by George Cadbury whose vision, drive and commitment established a successful, balanced, mixed community in a model village which now comprises 1,000 acres, 7,800 homes and 120 acres of open space in suburban Birmingham. That vision lives on and Bournville itself is probably still one of the most popular and successful residential areas in the land. click here
