Sutton (1815-1901), joined the firm in 1837 and
Suttons became a huge international business, receiving a Royal Warrant in 1858. It played a crucial role in the country's vegetable production during World War One, though the effects of the War on the business were devastating: Arthur's brother, Leonard Goodhart Sutton (1863-1932), who like his father served as Mayor of Reading, lost four of his five sons in the conflict.

Arthur was a Fellow and Councillor of the Linnean Society of London and received the Victoria Medal of Honour from the Royal Horticultural Society, of which he was also a Council member. He was appointed a member of the Appeal Tribunal (a special court set up to reconsider a decision by another court) for the County of Berkshire in 1916.

Warwick Sutton JP (1854-1925). Sutton was senior partner in his family's seed business, Suttons Seeds (formerly Sutton & Sons), which had been founded in 1806 in Reading, Berks by his grandfather, John Sutton (1777-1863). Arthur's father, Martin Hope
