The Lamport & Holt Line was established in the year 1845, when a Partnership was entered into by William James Lamport and George Holt. The business of the Company flourished under the guidance of these two earnest and able men, and as its ramifications extended it became necessary that its headquarters should be located in more extensive premises and the business was transferred to Drury Building, in Water Street, where it was carried on for many years until January, 1912, when it was again transferred to its present well-known home in the Royal Liver Building. On the death of Mr. Lamport in 1874 Mr. Holt was joined in the business by Mr. Walter Holland and Mr. Charles W. Jones, the former being a fellow-apprentice of Mr. Holt, whilst the latter served his apprenticeship with Lamport & Holt. Later these two Partners were joined by Mr. George H. Melly a nephew of Mr. Holt, Mr. Arthur Cook, and later by Mr. C. Sydney Jones, a son of Mr. Charles W Jones. Mr. Holt died in 1896. In 1911 the business of the Line was converted into a public Company which was registered as Lamport & Holt Limited, Messrs. George H. Melly and Arthur Cook being the Managing Directors, and on the retirement of these two gentlemen in 1923 the Company�s affairs were managed by Mr. Alfred Woods, who was succeeded in 1930 by the present Managing Director, Mr. Francis H. Lowe.rt & Holt Line was established in the year 1845, when a Partnership was entered into by William James Lamport and George Holt.
