Oliver Sheldon (1894-1951) was a director of the Rowntree Company in York, in the UK, in the 1920s. He was closely involved in restructuring the management and organisation of the growing confectionery company at a stage where its growth meant by necessity it had to move away from the personal, family-centred management of its founder, Joseph Rowntree, towards a more professional culture.
