  • Sir James Hugh Neill, KCVO, CBE, TD (29 March 1921 – 5 November 2017) was a British businessman, public servant, and British Army officer. Described as a "doyen of the Sheffield steel industry", he worked for his family's tool manufacturing firm, James Neill & Co, following leaving school, until retirement (1939 to 1989); he served as the firms chairman between 1963 and 1989, and then its honorary president. He served as Master Cutler for 1958. Neill's only break in his business career was for service in the British Army during the Second World War: he was an officer in the Royal Engineers and had reached the rank of Lieutenant colonel by end of the war. In addition to his business interests, he was a public servant. He served as High Sheriff of Hallamshire from 1972 to 1973, and as Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire from 1985 to 1996. In 1958, like his father and both his grandfathers, he was Master Cutler for the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire. (en)
