Neville Blond CMG OBE (11 February 1896 - 4 August 1970) was a British industrialist. He was educated at Manchester Grammar School and in Switzerland.
In 1927 Blond married Eileen Rebecca Nahum; they had two sons; Anthony (1928-2008) and Peter (1929-(?)). In 1944 he married secondly Elaine Marks, daughter of Michael Marks. John Kenneally VC (1921-2000) claimed in writing that he was an illegitimate son of Blond by Gertrude Nowell Robinson. Blond paid child support, but also doubted his paternity.[1] At the time he died, Blond was chairman of the English Stage Company, and was succeeded in that role by Robin Fox and Oscar Lewenstein jointly.[2]
Blond was appointed an MBE in 1945 and a Companion of the Order of St Michael and St George in 1950.[citation needed]
