William Hartley: The Greatest Name in JAM Making / Hartley's JAM historical documentary.

Today William Hartley would be applauded for establishing a brand that made him immensely wealthy, yet his aim was not material success but to “serve the Lord every day to the best of my ability”. His business practice reflected his faith, earning him an outstanding reputation for integrity, quality and customer care. Even during the horror years of the First World War he maintained the highest standards. A man of great compassion, he used his immense wealth to enrich the lives of others. This documentary tells his inspiring story.

An interesting account of a distinguished man. Hartley meticulously recorded every charitable donation, no matter how small, in his diary. He even calculated a notional rent on his own house so that he could ensure his charitable gifts were at least ten per cent of his income.
The Aintree Institute later became a Catholic parish club and was certainly not alcohol free.
During the war, the Aintree factory was covered in camouflage paint which took a long time to fade.
