History
The founder of Ashley Group is a descendant of the prestigious United Kingdom based shipping company, H G Mann Shipping Ltd. H G Mann (1882-1952) started in shipping in the pre-1914, known as the ‘golden age’, when 50% of the world fleet had the ‘red duster’, or UK flag. By 1930, H G Mann Shipping Ltd had also founded Buries Marks Ltd, managing between 1932 and 1934 its first vessel, the Mv Cedrus. This prominent ship owning company situated in the heart of the London shipping market was eventually acquired by Louis Dreyfus.
Two of H G Mann’s sons, John Ashley Mann and Philip Ashley Mann, continued to be active in the business, building the fleet and developing alternative revenue streams and partnerships, including port ownership and development within the United Kingdom.
The Mann name continues to remain within the industry, through Ashley Group, continuing and executing the lessons learned over 100 year ago from the origins.
