Reference: General Manager

Reference information:
I remember seeing the general manager of the Ford Plant at Dagenham Essex on the news as a child. He was in charge of a really huge plant with enormous turnover and thousands of workers, but of course he was not the CEO of the Ford Motor Company.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_manager

I remember it because I asked my father what a general manager was. Of course he knew everything :)
