Charles Geach
Charles Geach (1808 - 1 November 1854) was a prominent English businessman, industrialist, banker and politician of the early-mid 19th century, strongly associated with banking and manufacturing interests. He was a co-founder and the general first manager of the Midland Bank, the first treasurer of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, a prominent investor in several major engineering businesses, and MP for Coventry from 1851 to his premature death, aged 46, in 1854.
==Banking career==
Geach was born in St Austell, Cornwall,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.newquayvoice.co.uk/photos.asp?catID=14646 )〕 and through family connections in Penryn secured a junior position at the Bank of England.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/Charles_Geach )〕 A diligent employee, he was selected to establish a branch of the bank in Birmingham in 1826. He became well-known and trusted in the city, helping establish two new banks, but despite his efforts to establish the first, the Town and District Bank, founded on 1 July 1836, he was not appointed manager.
Almost simultaneously, however, when local businessmen believed the Birmingham Joint Stock Bank needed a rival they approached then 28-year-old Geach to be its first general manager.〔 Founded on 22 August 1836 and initially based in Union Street, the joint-stock company's starting capital was a very modest £28,000, but the Birmingham & Midland Bank quickly proved to be a successful enterprise, eventually acquiring two private banks in 1851;〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/midland-bank-plc-history/ )〕 purchase of the 'Stourbridge Old Bank' of Bate and Robbins provided the Birmingham and Midland Bank's first branch.
Increasingly courted by regional commercial and manufacturing business people, Geach become a prominent Midlands figure, elected an alderman in Birmingham 1843-1844 and mayor in 1847, and was elected to Parliament as MP for Coventry in 1851, whereupon he resigned as general manager of the Midland Bank.〔
