Geoffrey’s man on the ground at Marshalls, Alan is a business-savvy manager who’s worked his way up through the factory hierarchy.
Alan’s the one dealing with strengthened union demands, finding a role for Johnnie, pressure from the Temperance movement, scuffles between his workers and employing women – at half the rate, of course. This is all a world away from looking after his alcoholic sister at home.
