craib was a much more hands-on manager than his predecessor, philip davis, and he developed a particular dislike for calpin. this was reinforced when he discovered that calpin had been guilty of releasing confidential information about the running of the company and its financial problems to parties who were making bids to buy the ailing enterprise. the discovery of this incriminating material led to calpin's summary dismissal in september 1943. calpin's subsequent career seems to have been characterised by misfortune as he ended up serving a term of imprisonment for financial crimes.
