Portrait of a Man - William Lever

This old video from the Unilever Archives takes a look back at the life and times of William Lever, one of the three entrepreneurs that Unilever can trace its roots back to. This film explores how Lever rose from humble roots to become one of the greatest industrialists of the age, and how he had a social conscience that was in many ways far ahead of its time.
