Bovril developed in the 1870s by John Lawson Johnston, stayed in that family for decades - descendant became Lord Luke, promoted Rome Olympics and presented prizes. My first job was secretary to chief accountant at Old Street London factory. Good film though. My induction at the company included similar historic footage together with film of the million-acre holdings in Argentina where the beef came from (1960s). Nostalgia mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
