Jeffrey Richard de Corban Evans, 4th Baron Mountevans, JP (born 13 May 1948) is a London shipbroker and UK hereditary peer, who presently serves as Lord Mayor of London.[2]

Biography

The younger son of Richard, 2nd Baron Mountevans,[6] he succeeded to his title on the death without issue in 2014 of his elder brother Broke, 3rd Baron Mountevans.[7] He speaks fluent Norwegian as his grandmother on his father's side was a native of Norway.

Previously styled The Hon. Jeffrey Evans, he was educated at Pangbourne College, before going up to Pembroke College, Cambridge where he read economics and took the degree of MA (Cantab).

The City and Shipping

Lord Mountevans is a director of gas chartering at Clarkson plc and a member of the Baltic Exchange.[8] He served as Prime Warden of the Shipwrights' Company for 2006–07 before his election as Alderman for the City Ward of Cheap in 2007,[9] and was Sheriff of London for 2012–13.[10] At the Michaelmas Common Hall in 2015 he was elected to serve as Lord Mayor for the ensuing year, taking office on 13 November 2015.[11] He is also a liveryman of the Goldsmiths' and World Traders' Companies.

Mountevans' many charitable involvements include being a Trustee of Seafarers UK, a leading national maritime charity, President of the City of London Sea Cadets[12] and a Council Member of the White Ensign Association,[13] which offers advice to all ranks of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines on employment, pensions and other financial matters.

Family

In 1972 he married Juliet née Wilson, daughter of John, 2nd Baron Moran, KCMG , and lives at Kensington, London.

Lord and Lady Mountevans have two sons: The Hon. Alexander Evans (born 1975), heir apparent to the family title, and The Hon. Julian Evans (born 1977).
