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.
