Colegate was born in Walworth, London, the son of Robert Colegate and Sarah Elizabeth Pearce. He was educated privately before he entered University College London,[2] where he joined the Fabian Society and acted as a research assistant to Beatrice and Sydney Webb. He earned a Bachelor of Science in engineer in 1904. He then became a civil servant when he entered the Board of Trade in 1910,[2] before moving into business. He enlisted in the army during the First World War, but the Board of Trade seconded him for special service during the war.[1] He was a director of Brunner Mond and Company until 1927 (following their amalgamation into ICI) and British Overseas Stores[3] and was chairman of W.G. Allen & Sons (Tipton) Ltd[2] and of the Wright Saddle Company.[3] From 1925 to 1929, he served as President of the Industrial Property Committee of International Chamber of Commerce,[4] was a Governor of Harper Adams Agricultural College from 1941 to 1947, and President of the Rural District Councils Association.[3] Abandoning his youthful ideology, Colegate joined the Conservative Party and unsuccessfully contested the Sowerby constituency at the 1929 general election, but he was elected for The Wrekin at a by-election in September 1941, following the death at sea of James Baldwin-Webb. He lost the seat at the 1945 general election, but was successful in Burton, (where he had been adopted as candidate in 1947),[5] at the 1950 general election, holding his seat in 1951, and standing down at the 1955 general election,[6] the same year that he was knighted.[3] On 22 November 1917, Colegate married Winifred Mary Pemberton, daughter of Sir William Worsley, 3rd Baronet, and widow of Captain Francis Percy Campbell Pemberton of the 2nd Life Guards who had been killed in action in World War I in 1914.[7] The couple had four daughters. His wife predeceased him in 1955.[3] Besides in London, Colegate had homes at Redbourne Hall near Gainsborough, Lincolnshire and Church Aston Manor near Newport, Shropshire in 1945[2] and at the time of his death lived at Bembridge, Isle of Wight.[5] References1. ^1 {{cite news |title=Sir A.
