When Denholm Reynholm started Reynholm Industries, all he had was a dream. And six million pounds. A passionate advocate of teamwork, and an opponent of stress in all its forms, Denholm's noble work ethics made him the ideal boss. Kind of.
When sizing up employees (usually with a long, hard stare) Denholm had no qualms making snap judgements: dubbing Moss and Roy as 'standard nerds' of course, with born-again goth Richmond earning himself a long sentence behind the Red Door.
Even after his son Douglas mysteriously disappeared following a sexual harassment lawsuit, Denholm still played the loyal father and left the company to Douglas in his will. This all came to light after Denholm's non-nonsense suicide: jumping out of the boardroom window.
It was something to do with irregularities in the pension fund apparently...
Denholm is played by Chris Morris
