[quote]Matthews was Europe's biggest turkey farmer, although he stepped down as chairman of his business on his 80th birthday in January this year. In a statement on Matthews' website the Bernard Matthews' Farms CEO, Noel Bartram, said: "It is with a great deal of personal sadness that I confirm Bernard Matthews passed away on the afternoon of the 25th November. "Rarely has any business been as synonymous with the hard work and values of one man. It was Bernard Matthews who grew and developed this company through his entrepreneurial spirit, and clear focus." In highlighting how Matthews started his turkey empire, Bartram added: "From simple beginnings, with an initial investment of just £2.50 sixty years ago, Bernard Matthews was responsible for taking the business from twenty turkey eggs and a second-hand paraffin incubator to a successful and thriving multi million pound company. He is the man who effectively put turkey on the plates of everyday working families and in so doing became one of the largest employers in rural East Anglia and a major supporter of the local farming community."[/quote] [url]http://news.uk.msn.com/uk/articles.aspx?cp-documentid=155359040[/url] [url]http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-norfolk-11845703[/url] this is a sad day :saddowns:
