Baron May

Baron May

Baron May, of Weybridge in the County of Surrey, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1935 for the financial expert Sir George May. He was for many years secretary of the Prudential Assurance Company. May had already been created a Baronet, of the Yeot, in 1931, in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom. As of 2007 the titles are held by his great-grandson, the fourth Baron, who succeeded his father in 2006.
