Witherby Publishing Group was established in 2008, initially as
Witherby Seamanship Limited, through a merger between Witherbys
Publishing and Seamanship International Ltd. The Witherby business
dates back to 1740 when Thomas Witherby opened a stationery shop in
Birchin Lane, London, next to the Sword Blade Coffee house,
providing stationery and printing for the newly founded commercial
marine insurance market.
More recently the company has expanded its range of publications
into non-marine areas of insurance and has increased its marine
portfolio through a new focus on Shipping Business. This has
created a need to form three separate trading divisions: Witherby
Seamanship International, Witherby Insurance & Legal and
Witherby Shipping Business, all contained within the umbrella of
the Witherby Publishing Group.
Established: 2008
Types of books published: Specialist publisher
of marine training, reference and regulatory materials, providing
books and publications to the shipping, shipping business and
general insurance and legal industries
