In 1879 Renold purchased a small textile-chain making business in Salford, England from James Slater and so founded the Hans Renold Co. Renold had long been devoted to the ideal of establishing a firm sense of community among his employees and their families and in 1909 gave his active support to the establishment of the Hans Renold Social Union for the encouragement of a wide range of leisure activities. Hans Renold and his first wife Mary Susan Herford (1855-1919) had six children: Mary Katharine Renold, Charles Garonne Renold, Amy Madeleine Renold, Mary Robberds Renold (died young), Hans Herford Renold (died young) and Austen Hugh Renold. After his death in 1943, Priestnall Hey, his former home adjacent to the Renold works at Burnage, was presented by his son for the use of the Social Union. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hans Renold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
