Harry McEvoy was born on 16th August 1902 and went on to be educated at Bradford Grammar School before heading to America to study for a business degree. At the end of his studies he became a salesman for a small cereal company in Battle Creek Michigan run by William Keith Kellogg. Such was his success that he was promoted and given the task of returning to his native England in order to put the Kellogg company well and truly on the map there. By 1938 he had established a large factory in Stretford in Manchester which is still a major force in cereal production today.
