  3. Our History

J. & J. Denholm can trace its origins back to 1866 when the first business was a ships agency founded by James and John Denholm.

Over the years the company has diversified and today the group has four main business streams: shipping, logistics, seafoods and industrial services.

Wilhelmsen is a leading global maritime industry group with more than 157 years of history within the maritime sector.  They too have diversified their interests into ship agency and the supply of products to the shipping industry.

The key assets of Denholm Port Services have always been its people and the values on which each company is built: fairness, achievement, integrity and respect.

Denholm Port Services is proud to be a company steeped in history and, today, is focused on building on those strong foundations by providing quality, excellence and innovation to give a competitive advantage to all our customers.
