Rewrite required

As just about the only remaining major UK chocolate manufacturer left, ISTM Thorntons is an important company from a UK POV, however this article is very poor from an encyclopedia POV as it does not have a neutral POV and has clearly been written by Thornton's PR people or by people relying wholly on Thorntons PR material. It would benefit from almost all the adjectives being removed: "nicest", "prudently", "doubtless", "remarkable", "momentous", etc etc. It would help to have an independent source for the information in the text to make it easier to separate the spin from the truth, in the absence of this it is tempting to simply delete swathes of paragraphs which have no objective claim to notability.
