        History

        Globe Telegraph and Trust Company Limited was incorporated in 1873 by John Pender, a Liberal MP, who also founded the Eastern and Associated Telegraph Companies Group. Globe was formed in order to spread the short term risk of cable laying over a number of companies, and shares in Globe were offered in exchange for shares in submarine telegraph and associated companies. The Eastern and Associated Telegraph Companies Group, meanwhile, was built up by Pender over a number of years in the late 19th century.

        The Marseilles, Algiers and Malta Telegraph Company Limited was formed in 1870 by John Pender and merged in 1872 with Anglo-Mediterranean Telegraph Co, Falmouth, Gibraltar and Malta Telegraph Co (CLC/B/101-22), and British Indian Submarine Telegraph Co (CLC/B/101-08) to form Eastern Telegraph Co (CLC/B/101-19).
