George Basil Zochonis (1852–1929) was the founder of PZ Cussons, one of the United Kingdom's largest soap manufacturing businesses.
Career

Brought up in Greece, George Zochnis initially joined the trading house of Fisher & Randall in Freetown in Sierra Leone.[1] In 1879, together with George Paterson, he founded Paterson Zochonis and built it into a large trading house.[1] It imported West African goods (palm products, nuts etc.) into the United Kingdom and then exported them to Europe.[1] It also exported British goods (textiles etc.) to West Africa.[1]

He died in 1929.[1] After his death control of the business passed to Constantine Zochonis, his nephew, and then more recently, to John Zochonis (Constantine's son).[2]
