História biográfica

Rubber Plantations Investment Trust was registered in 1909 to acquire investment holdings in tea, rubber, plantation and other companies. The capital for investment was provided by Harrisons and Crosfield Limited (CLC/B/112) which transferred tea and rubber company shares. In 1922 Rubber Plantations Investment Trust owned 99,672 acres of land, the majority of which was on the East coast of Sumatra, and some in Travancore (Kerala) and Malaya.

In 1937 it acquired the whole stock of Sumatra Tea Estates Limited (CLC/B/112-146). In 1957 T.R.S. Ltd (CLC/B/112-150) became a wholly owned subsidiary. Rubber Plantations Investment Trust also held half of the capital of G.T.S. Syndicate Limited (CLC/B/112-052).

From 1968 it was known as Harcros Investment Trust Limited to reflect the changing nature of the business. The entire capital of Harcros Investment Trust Limited was acquired by Harrisons and Crosfield Limited in 1978. The Trust is last mentioned as a subsidiary of Harrisons and Crosfield in the annual report and accounts of 1989.
