He inherited his father's shop and built it into the large retail chain now known as House of Fraser.[1]

Career

Born in Partick, Lanarkshire (now in Glasgow), Hugh Fraser was educated at Glasgow Academy and Warriston School near Moffat.[1] In 1919 he joined his father's business, a shop in Buchanan Street in Glasgow.[1] He became Managing Director in 1924 and Chairman on his father's death in 1927.[1] He expanded the business by acquisition buying department stores throughout Scotland as well as the John Barker Group and Harrods in England and Argentina.[1] In 1948 he established Scottish & Universal Investments ('SUITS') to acquire non-retail businesses including the Glasgow Herald.[1]

In 1945 he purchased Mugdock Castle from the Duke of Montrose. He was created a baronet, styled "of Dineiddwg in the County of Stirling", in 1961,[2] and was subsequently created Baron Fraser of Allander, of Dineiddwg in the County of Stirling, in 1964.

He died in 1966 at "Dineiddwg", his home at Mugdock.[1]

Family

In 1931 he married Kathleen Hutcheon and together they went on to have one son and one daughter.[1]
