Its parent company, Bibby Line Group Limited, can be traced back to John Bibby who founded the company in 1807. The company along with all the group is based in Liverpool.[1] Since 2007, Bibby Line Group and its employees have donated over £9.7million and thousands of volunteering hours to over 1,000 charitable causes[2]. HistoryThe Bibby Line was founded in 1807 by the first John Bibby (1775–1840). It has operated in most areas of shipping throughout its 200-year history, and claims to be the oldest independently owned deep sea shipping line in the world. Along with other British ship owners, it endured hard economic conditions in the 1970s and 1980s, but survived through diversification into floating accommodation. The group diversified in the 1980s into separate divisions, including Bibby Financial Services which was formed in 1982. The parent company is now called [https://bibbylinegroup.co.uk/ Bibby Line Group] - a £1billion global business, operating in 16 countries, employing 4,000 people in sectors including retail, financial services, distribution, shipping, marine and construction equipment hire[3]. In 2002 Sir Derek Bibby, 2nd baronet, and great-great-grandson of the founder and past chairman and president of the firm, was aged 80 and terminally ill with leukemia. He committed suicide on 9 October 2002 by consuming aluminium phosphide, a poison that caused his body to emit, hours later, dangerous fumes that forced the evacuation of the hospital where his body was being held.
