Executive director
« on: Sunday 30 August 15 15:31 BST (UK) »
My  gt.Uncle emigrated to Canada as a child and since researching my family history, I have found out that he did in fact return to England in a professional role.  He seems to have been an Executive director of Pfizer Ltd and in 1958  he went to London to Kemball Bishop & Co. and it looks like he must have had something to do with the two companies amalgamating because Kemball Bishop became part of Pfizer in 1958 although they kept their own name for a while.
I have looked on the Kemball Bishop site and see that there are pictures of directors so I just wondered how I would find out a bit more about my gt. uncles role and also it would be absolutely wonderful if there was also a picture. His name was William Robert Fraser.
I know this all seems a bit 'pie in the sky' but I just wondered if there was any chance of any information.
Many thanks
Cecile

Suggest you try contacting Pfizer in the UK to see if they have any archives

If Pfizer acquired/amalgamated with Kemball Bishop then Pfizer might have the records
