About the author

Born on August 29, 1848, George Hayter Chubb was a British businessman from the family behind Chubb and Sons Lock and Safe Co. He was the son of John Chubb and the grandson of Charles Chubb, who founded the company.

After his father’s death, he and his brothers took leading roles in the family firm. Sources agree that he became a director and later managing director, and he remained closely involved with the business for decades. He was knighted in 1885, created a baronet in 1900, and raised to the peerage as Baron Hayter in 1927.

He married Sarah Vanner Early in 1870, and they had children together. George Hayter Chubb died on November 7, 1946, at the age of 98.
