George Yule (businessman)

George Yule (17 April 1829 – 26 March 1892) was a Scottish merchant in England and India who served as the fourth President of the Indian National Congress in 1888 at Allahabad, the first non-Indian to hold that office.

The business flourished, enabling George Yule to reside at Platt Hall, Manchester, and at 22A Austin Friars (near the Bank of England in the City of London), while his brother moved to India.

George, who was childless, served as the principal director of the various family enterprises.

Andrew's daughter Annie married her cousin David and the wealth was consolidated over the generations.
