We remain Nigeria’s preferred option in power generation & transmission, fire-fighting, cooling, marine transport, property development and warehousing.

The story of John Holt began in 1862 when Mr. John Holt, just 21years old with 27 Pounds Sterling in his pocket, sailed from Liverpool to West Africa. In 1897, John Holt established his first Venture in Lagos. Up to the Second World War, John Holt was involved mainly in the distribution and export of produce, with a fleet of ships which operated a fortnightly service from Liverpool to West Africa. Also in 1897, John Holt & Company (Liverpool) Limited was incorporated in the United Kingdom.
