Viscount Mackintosh of Halifax
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Viscount Mackintosh of Halifax, of Hethersett in the County of Norfolk, is a title in the Peerage of the United Kingdom. It was created in 1957 for the businessman and public servant Harold Vincent Mackintosh. He was the owner of the confectionary business of John Mackintosh & Sons Ltd and for many years Chairman of the National Savings Committee. Mackintosh had already been created a Baronet, of Halifax in the County of York, on 28 January 1935, and Baron Mackintosh of Halifax, of Hethersett in the County of Norfolk, in 1948. His portrait was painted by the Scottish artist Cowan Dobson.
As of 2006 the titles are held by his grandson, the third Viscount, who succeeded his father in 1980.
