“Established in 1737 as a ship’s chandlers, James Green & Nephew have continued to supply the hospitality industry through out the centuries, to present day. This has included manufacturing Toby Jugs for many whisky distillers including Johnny Walker to fine bone china for the retail market, to now supplying a variety of clients from Artisan Bakeries, to Livery Halls to Pop Up Event Spaces. We are still a family run business, and are based in Abridge, on the outskirts of London.”
“In 1782, plans were made for a Chamber of Commerce in the Cornhill part of the City of London. The proposed plan incorporated an information office for business and trade enterprises to use for “consultation, opinion, advice, information and assistance”. A subscription rate of not less than three guineas, a significant sum at that time, was suggested for the service. It took, however, another ninety-nine years of discussion before London had a Chamber of Commerce of its own. Finally on 25 July 1881 London Chamber was established at Mansion House in the City of London with 130 members. A number of these firms or their successors still play a role in London Chamber today.”
