Graham Bruton informed me today that Tony Coakley, the last surviving director of A&BC Chewing Gum, passed away on 9 April, 2020, in a nursing home at the age of 93.
In 1949 Simon Anysz, Rudy Braun along with brothers Douglas and Tony Coakley decided to form a company to produce and sell chewing gum and A&BC Chewing Gum Ltd. was founded. The company lasted 25 years and employed 350 people. For a fuller history of the company check out Nigel Mercer's website for A&BC Chewing Gum Ltd. - a brief history.
