Edit Profile
Education
He was educated at Winchester College and New College, Oxford.
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.
He was knighted in 1960.
Hornby was also President of Savoy Hotel Limited.
He died in 1987.
Membership
And up until the 1970s, no member of staff could visit a merchant bank without wearing a bowler hat.
