Scrooge & Marley - Biographies

About the employers

"Bah! Humbug!"

Mr. Ebenezer Scrooge grew up in the countryside as a part of the lower class with his sister Fan. During his childhood, Scrooge attended a boarding school according to his father's wishes.

In his youth, Mr. Scrooge was apprenticed in the once-renowned Fezziwig & Co. There, he learned many fine business skills.

Early in his professional career, Mr. Scrooge realized how money could offer him control over his life. For many years, he has had an extremely conservative attitude towards money; saving every cent he could and lowering wages to a minimum. However, in light of recent events, his perspective has changed. Mr. Scrooge now appreciates the life that he has recieved and the society that he lives in.

For more information, please refer to the retelling of Mr. Scrooge's adventures in "A Christmas Carol," by Charles Dickens.

"Mankind was my business!"

Mr. Jacob Marley was raised in a lower-class family, where he quickly learnt the value and importance of money. He was a fast learner and adept worker. His original career was a stock broker, when he met Mr. Scrooge by chance and they started their now-successful business.

In the past few years, Mr. Marley has expressed his concerns on various social issues including taxes, the poor, and public welfare. He has devoted much thought on these topics.

Sadly, Mr. Marley passed away on Christmas Eve of 1836 due to an unknown illness, before he could realize his dream of helping humanity. His death left Mr. Scrooge to manage the company and its assets.

Mr. Marley's legacy of charity, mercy, forbearance, and benevolence is now at the heart of our business. His liberality is now well represented by his partner, Mr. Scrooge.
