Mr Michael Holmes. The company was
established in 1991 to offer grain
elevation services at the port of
Felixstowe.

In
May 1997, a major fire destroyed the
original Dock Office, which dated back
to 1888. This fire also destroyed and
damaged our grain elevation loading
equipment. Having been informed by the
port management that the dock basin
would be closing in the future in
order to extend the ports deep sea
container berths, a decision was made
to concentrate the companies energy
into its growing forwarding, ship
broking and ships agency business.
In 2000, the ship broking division of
the company was transferred to
Cardiff, South Wales.
