Background

Mr. Jorkin was the President of the Amalgamated Mercantile Society in London, England.

During the events of A Christmas Carol (1951) played by Jack Warner

Ebenezer Scrooge is sitting in Mr. Fezziwig's office when he walks in with Mr. Jorkin who suggests Mr. Fezziwig sells out. Mr. Fezziwig tells Mr. Jorkin that a business isn't just about making money, it is also about preserving a way of life. After Mr. Fezziwig is called away, Mr. Jorkin walks over to Ebenezer and offers him a job. Eventually Ebenezer gets a job with Mr. Jorkin and meets Jacob Marley for the first time. Later, Mr. Fezziwig's business is bought out by Mr. Jorkin. Eventually, Ebenezer, Marley and Mr. Jorkin sit in a meeting with Mr. Snedrig, Mr. Groper and Mr. Rosebed. They tell Mr. Jorkin that the company owes a large amount of money, and they accuse Mr. Jorkin of embezzling money. Ebenezer and Marley make a proposition to the company representatives that they will offer them money in exchange for majority shares.
