Hugo Wolfram (1925–2015), was an English businessman and novelist. He served as managing director of the Lurex Company, makers of the fabric Lurex and was the author of three novels including Into a Neutral Country, a psychological novel about the experience of refugees and the predicament of "displaced persons".
Hugo Wolfram was born in Germany, emigrating to England in 1933. When World War II broke out, young Hugo left school at 15 and subsequently found it hard to get a job since he was regarded as an "enemy alien." As an adult, he took correspondence courses in philosophy and psychology.
