The sixth child and only son of William Morrison, Sir Ken worked with his father on the family stall in Bradford’s Rawson Market from the age of five. His job was to “candle” the eggs - holding them against a flame to check for defects.
Sir Ken Morrison
He left school at 18 to help his father build up the business. When his father became ill, he returned from National Service in Germany in 1952 to run the business rather than see it sold.
Sir Ken liked to encourage the view of himself as a bluff Northerner and disliked people asking questions about his personal life.
