Weston family

[1] The family operations began with the purchase of a bakery in 1884 by American-born Canadian George Weston in Toronto, Ontario.Among their other businesses, members of this branch own or control several additional retailers, including Holt Renfrew in Canada.79.2% of this company belongs to a British charitable trust called the Garfield Weston Foundation, with the balance owned by various family members.In 2021, The Sunday Times named the Weston family among the most charitable people over the past 20 years, with donations of £1.661 billion.[6][7] In 2018, the Westons were named Ireland's richest family for the tenth year running, with a wealth of €11.42 billion.
