My maternal grandfather's name was Crossman. Manns was Mann, Crossman and Paulin. Sir Peter Crossman was chairman of Manns at the merger with Watney, Coombe and Reid and became chairman of the Watney-Mann group till they were sold to Grand Met.

I believe he was responsible for developing Red Barrel as a brand in the 60s.
