APPENDIX C PEERS WHO WERE DIRECTORS OF COMPANIES IN 1896 AND 1920 In the list here given there are 232 peers (or courtesy peers) and peeresses who figure as directors in 1920 as against 167 in 1896, which, even allowing for the great increase that has taken place during the interval in the total number of the Peerage, points to a greatly increased proportion thereof being engaged in commerce. This change has been brought about not so much by more peers in search of fees allowing themselves to be put forward as figureheads of commercial enterprises of which they have no special knowledge, and for which they have had no special training, as by the fact that many magnates in coal, shipping, and other industries have of late been raised to the Peerage. It is an interesting sign of the times that Lady Rhondda should be second in the list as directing (of course as the representative of her late able father) no less than 34 undertakings, but she and the Dowager Lady Nunburnholme are by no means the only women to be found in the Directory of Directors; nor, though 34 companies seem an enormous number for any man or woman to direct, does it at all represent the maximum which has been attempted, for one man professes to manage 52, and no less than eight appear as directing over 40! Peers marked with an asterisk are directors of one, two, or three companies. |
