Image of Sainsbury family directors at Chelsea branch: R.J., Alan, and J.D. Sainsbury at display of canned foods

Photograph by Brian Shuel which is one of a set showing members of the Sainsbury family who were directors of the Sainsbury's business at Chelsea branch.

The family directors visited the store to be photographed for a Sunday Times magazine article on the centenary of the business - that photograph (see SA/FAM/10/2/4) showed the family directors at each of the checkouts. Brian Shuel (photographing on behalf of Sainsbury's) took pictures of the directors arriving in the store, walking around it and chatting with each other, and of the photograph at the checkouts being taken.

This photo features (left to right): Sir Robert James Sainsbury (Chairman); Lord Alan Sainsbury of Drury Lane (President); and John Davan Sainsbury (Vice Chairman; later Lord Sainsbury of Preston Candover).
