insurance agency

The origins of Edgar H. Greenham & Co. S.r.l. go back to 1826 when two British brothers, John and Isaac Grant Greenham, arrived at Trieste and started their activity by opening a shipping agency.

The company started to act as insurance agents related to maritime traffics in 1896  when Isaac Grant Greenham was appointed agent of Lloyd's of London. At his death he was succeeded in the activity by his grandson  Richard and, subsequently, by Edgar Henry, who still gives the name to the company.
His widow continued the activity until 1973, when the company was taken over by Ellerman & Wilson, and at present by Samer & Co. Shipping, though still maintaining its independence and presence in the insurance world.  At the time of Edgar Henry  in the first decades of the last century numerous Insurance Companies, mainly British and American, used the service of Edgar H. Greenham & Co. as their agents in the field of maritime underwriting. On the basis of this age-old tradition, Edgar H. Greenham & Co. has today resumed and strengthened  its traditional role and heritage of experience by becoming representatives of "SASA Assicurazioni e Riassicurazioni".
