Our story began in 1860 when Henry Diaper commenced business as a public
warehousekeeper by renting vaults in the famous Albert Dock warehouses on
the bustling Liverpool waterfront.
Nearly 50 years later a private Parliamentary Bill was passed, empowering
Diapers to issue negotiable and transferable Warrants for products stored
in its warehouses. Even today these key fiscal instruments continue to be
traded on the World Commodity Markets.
In 1909 the following words were written in the India Rubber Journal:
"Their selections are expected as standard, their weight notes are
treated as certificates and their warrants, issued under special Act of
Parliament, are accepted as good security in banking circles. It is therefore
no great surprise that this firm has attained its present position of trust."
Thus Henry Diaper & Co. Ltd. began and has now grown into a broad based
organisation bringing together the specialised storage of high value, time
critical consumer products conducted from prime U.K. logistics centres backed
up with a comprehensive distribution fleet and freight forwarding operation
all skillfully managed by responsive teams.
