In business[edit]
Dunlop moved to America, and in 1896 was employed by the American Westinghouse
Electric Company, becoming later assistant manager, and then manager of its European
Publicity Department. In 1899 he returned to Britain with his family in this capacity. In
1911, with Sebastian Ziani de Ferranti and others, Dunlop helped to found the British
Electrical and Allied Manufacturers' Association (BEAMA) in London, which still exists
today. While Ferranti became its first chairman (to 1913) Dunlop was at first its secretary
and later its director.[1][2] A year of two after World War I, Dunlop began to organize the
World Power Conference, the precursor to the World Energy Council, which met for the
first time on 11 July 1924 and of which he was elected chairman. [3] Towards the close of
his life he was elected independent chairman of the Electrical Fair Trading Council and
chairman of the executive council of the World Power Conference.
April 1935, Dunlop was expelled together with a number of other leading members. [7] He
died shortly afterwards of an appendicitis. Dunlop enlisted the help of fellow
anthroposophist Walter Johannes Stein in the hope of founding a World Economic
Organisation, but his death prevented this.[8]
