Sir Sidney Gordon GBE CBE JP (20 August 1917 – 11 April 2007) was a businessman in colonial Hong Kong from 1956 until his death in 2007.
This tendency towards sickness meant that Sidney, unlike his brother Lesley, never saw action during World War II.
However, due to the experience he had accumulated in the Scottish accounting industry he was asked to work in the United Kingdom's biggest munitions factory at Ardeer in Ayrshire.
As a senior partner in Lowe, Bingham and Matthews, Gordon became the primary accountant to Sir Elly Kadoorie and Sons, the corporate major shareholder in such companies as Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels group, China Light and Power, and Tai Ping Carpets.
Sidney Gordon was appointed a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in 1967 and was knighted in 1972 for services to Hong Kong.
