Biographical history
The business was incorporated on 20 March 1947 with an objective to assist and participate in schemes for the development of natural resources, business, industry, trade and commerce. The initial share capital was £500,000 divided into 100,000 shares of £5 which were wholly owned by the Standard Bank of South Africa Limited.
