Mr. Charles Percy M. Butterworth , the managing director of Messrs. Butterworth Bros., Ltd., is the son of the founder of the firm, and was born at Dunedin in 1865. He was educated at Cheltenham College, England, and was brought up to the soft goods trade in the London office of the firm, and in Dunedin, and has been engaged in the business since leaving school—becoming managing director of the company in 1891 on the death of his father. Mr. Butterworth takes general interest in athletics, specially rowing and golf; he is vice-president of the Otago Rowing Club, and an old member of the Otago Football Club. In 1895 he married a daughter of the Hon. B. Backhouse, of Sydney, New South Wales.
