James Grimble Groves (24 October 1854 – 23 June 1914) was a British brewer and Conservative politician.
He was the son of William Peer Groves, of Springbank, Pendleton, near Salford and was educated privately and at Owen's College, Manchester.
[1] He became chairman and managing director of Groves and Whitnall Limited, owners of the Regent Road Brewery, Salford.
In November 1900 a number of arsenic poisonings in the Manchester area were traced to beer from the Groves and Whitnall Brewery, and consequently a large amount of the company's stock had to be destroyed.
[5] Groves only served one term in the Commons, losing his seat to Hilaire Belloc in the Liberal landslide at the 1906 general election.
