Godfrey Charles Isaacs (died 17 April 1925) was a British businessman, and brother of the politician Rufus Isaacs, 1st Marquess of Reading. He was born in England and educated at Hanover University and Brussels University. He then entered his father’s firm of fruit and ship brokers. In 1910 he became Managing Director of Marconi’s Wireless Telegraph Company. He was involved in the Marconi scandal of 1912, when several British politicians were accused of "insider trading" when they acquired shares in the American subsidiary of the Marconi Company; the parent company was expected to get a contract from the British Government. He retired from the Marconi Company in November 1924, and died in 1925 aged only 58y, which the ''Times'' obituary attributed to overwork. His son, Marcel Godfrey Isaacs, married Marie Louise Cattier, daughter of prominent Belgian banker and philanthropist, Félicien Cattier who was also his business associate. ==References== *''Who Was Who'', 1925 *"Obituary" in ''The Times'', London of 18 April 1925 p 12. * :fr:Félicien Cattier * http://archive.thetablet.co.uk/article/25th-april-1925/24/obituary 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Godfrey Isaacs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
