ABOUT
Published to mark the 175th anniversary of the founding of Standard Life in 1825.
Originally called the Life Insurance Company of Scotland, it changed its name to Standard Life in 1832. Over the next three decades the company extended its activities to England, Ireland and Canada. With the establishment in 1845 of a sister company, Colonial Life, life assurance was made available to residents in every part of the world. Standard Life merged with Colonial Life in 1866.
It has endeavoured to maximise returns to policy-holders by lending first to agricultural estates and later to local authorities, to shipbuilding companies, to farmers in NZ and America, to railways and to property developers.
Includes monochrome and colour images.
Illustrated end papers.
