[edit]

I can't believe I'm actually devoting time to this, but a number of the sources cited in this article (of which very few are what we'd term RS) point to the fact that Jellycat was CO-FOUNDED by the two brothers, Thomas and William Gatacre. And until anyone finds reliable sources that say otherwise, then that's how the article stays. I'll note source 2: "Jellycat, the soft toys and gifts business co-founded by brothers Thomas and William Gatacre, is one such brand." (my bold, obvs); the Times (which IS an RS): "Profits surged to a record £14.9m on sales of £49m last year, providing the owners — brothers William and Thomas Gatacre — with a dividend of £16.7m." (again my bold); and William's acceptance of an award, covered in Gifts and Home: "Responding, Will praised Jellycat’s staff and customers. “Thomas and I are absolutely delighted to accept this award". So we have three sources, one an impeccable RS, one a decent source and one an interview with William himself, all of which speak to joint ownership and co-founders. So knock it off.
