Sir Frederick Mills, 1st Baronet

Sir Frederick Mills, 1st Baronet, DL (23 April 1865 – 22 December 1953) was a British iron and steel manufacturer and Conservative Party politician.

He was educated at Dr Robertson's Private Academy and Durham College of Science, both in Newcastle upon Tyne.

He was apprenticed at Palmers of Jarrow and then became an official of the South Durham Steel Company at Stockton-on-Tees.

During the First World War he not only directed one of the most important steel companies in Britain, but was also largely responsible for raising the Monmouthshire battalions of the South Wales Borderers.

For these services, he was created a baronet, of Ebbw Vale in the county of Monmouthshire, in the 1921 New Year Honours.
