Pioneering Spirit: The Inchcape Story - James Bellini

This is a story of courage, determination, leadership, insight and enterprise - all on a huge scale and covering almost the entire history of global trade. Today, Inchcape is a world leader in automotive distribution and retailing, but its roots stretch back two centuries to adventurous Scottish merchants who braved uncharted waters to lay the foundations of a unique business empire. Spanning every continent, this empire deployed a vast fleet of ships and hundreds of interconnected companies trading everything from cotton cloth to coal.
