Early life

Career

Hornby was a senior partner at Cazenove. According to Anthony Hilton, he rebuilt Cazenove after the war, by subtly acknowledging his company's place in the City hierarchy. They considered themselves the leading broker, so Hornby had a golden rule - any other broker had to visit them, but Cazeove always visited their merchant banker clients. And up until the 1970s, no member of staff could visit a merchant bank without wearing a bowler hat.[2] He was knighted in 1960.

Hornby was also president of Savoy Hotel Ltd.[1]

Personal life

Hornby married Lady Veronica Brenda Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, daughter of Frederick Hamilton-Temple-Blackwood, 3rd Marquess of Dufferin and Ava, on 17 December 1931. They divorced in 1940.

In 1949, he married Lily Ernst, a former ballerina.

Death

He died on 20 December 1987.
