Sir Paul Henry Newall (17 September 1934 – 28 July 2015)[1] was the 666th Lord Mayor of London.
Paul was educated at Harrow School, and was also commissioned in the Royal Fusiliers for National Service, later going up to Magdalene College, Cambridge, to read economics.
[2] He began his career with stockbrokers Cazenove & Co, and was then seconded to the jobbing firm of Durlacher, where he worked as a “blue button”, or runner, on the trading floor.
After, he worked as an analyst, and later moved to join the Wall Street firm of Loeb Rhoades (later Shearson Loeb Rhoades) in the late 1960s, where he became a partner and made his name as a well-liked broker to institutional clients.
[2] Newall was introduced to Penelope Ridsdale by the author Barbara Cartland.
