Mark Antony Loveday, who died 4 September, 2024, aged 80, was a stockbroker, head of Cazenove at a time of upheaval, and behind the inevitable, yet historic, decision to convert the City’s most blue-blooded firm into a limited company. Loveday was a scion of the landed gentry family of that name.
He followed his father into stockbroking, and was drawn to Cazenove by his godfather, Sir Anthony Hornby, senior partner there. Initially, TB kept him away from the office for months. He became a stock exchange member in 1972 and was a partner from 1974 until 2001. He specialised in raising finance for companies, mainly through share issues. He was senior partner, Cazenove & Co, 1994-2001; Chairman, Foreign & Colonial Investment Trust PLC from 2002; Director, London Catalyst 1972-; Trustee of Magdalen College Development Trust 1982-; a Trustee of the Grosvenor Estate 1999-; Liveyman of the Skinners' Co 1972.
He was born 22 September, 1943, a son of George Arthur Loveday, TD, (1909-1981), stockbroker, and sometime chairman of the London Stock Exchange, by his first wife Sylvia Mary Gibbs (1907-1967), kinswoman of the Barons Wraxall and Aldenham & Hunsdon.
He married in 1981, Mary Elizabeth Tolmie (born 1943), daughter of John Simpson Tolmie (1913-1965), and his wife the former Mary Catherine Deirdre Mitchell (1910-1998), by whom he had issue, a son, Sam, and a daughter, Lucy.
