•
John G. Denison, acting CEO and chairman of ATA Airlines and Global Aero Logistics, Inc
Pender (he assumed the additional name of Denison, his mother's maiden name, in 1890) was the third son of Sir John Pender, the founder of the Eastern Telegraph Company.
His Uncle (half) Sir James Pender, 1st Baronet (from Sir John Pender's first marriage) was the first chairman of Eastman Kodak (UK).
•
In 1925 he was Vice-Chairman and Joint Managing Director Cable & Wireless Ltd.
Denison-Pender ran C&W services during the war years and it was some feat that it remained undisrupted during that time, despite numerous setbacks including the Electra House HQ (London), Brentwood wireless station, the Moorgate-Porthcurno landlines and Porthcurno Telegraph Museum (Cornwall) all receiving direct hits in 1940 and up to 1945.
•
His paternal Great Grandfather was Sir John Pender, the submarine communications cables pioneer who founded the Eastern Telegraph Company and other Worldwide Telegraph Companies, which became Cable & Wireless, and was the lead financier in the first successful laying of the Transatlantic Telegraph in 1866.
•
In 1934, the new name Cable & Wireless (from Imperial and International Communications Limited) was designed to more clearly reflect the combined radio and cable services which it offered, without reference to the Empire.
