Born in Sussex, and educated at Charterhouse and Oxford, he joined the firm of Henry S. King and Co, a London bank founded by his father. Under his leadership the bank expanded into India. Active in Conservative politics, he sat as MP for Kingston upon Hull Central from 1885-1911. He was made a Knight Commander of the Indian Empire in 1892 and a baronet in 1932.
