Ropner and Co., the shipping company.At the 1923 general election, he was elected Member of Parliament (MP) for Sedgefield in County Durham, with a majority of only 6 votes over the sitting Labour MP John Herriotts.

In 1937 he served as High Sheriff of Durham.In 1952 he was made a baronet of Thorp Perrow in the county of Yorkshire. The Thorp Perrow estate near Bedale had been bought by his father in 1927.
