William Price (industrialist)
Sir William Price (~1860 – 16 April 1938), born in Wales, was a farmer and industrialist, Director of United Dairies Ltd. He was knighted in 1922, on the nomination of David Lloyd George, by King George V (grandfather of the present Queen). A fluent speaker of Welsh, he was nominated because of his company's deliveries of milk during the General strike. He had several children.
