Arthur Brampton
Arthur Brampton (1864–1955) was a British Liberal Party politician.
Brampton studied at King Edward's School, Birmingham and Bishop Vesey's Grammar School,[1] before joining the family business, F. Brampton and Sons, which was soon renamed Brampton Brothers Ltd. By the 1900s, Brampton was joint managing director.[2]
Brampton travelled around Europe extensively, setting up business relationships, and also served as a director of the Birmingham Gazette. He served as president of the Birmingham Liberal Association for almost twenty years,[1] while from 1920 to 1931 he was the chairman of the National Liberal Federation, then from 1930 to 1933 he served as its president.[3]
In 1943, Brampton retired as managing director of what had become Renold Chains, after a series of mergers.[4]
