Ridley International Limited is the leading independent agent of London Metal Exchange listed Warehouses. Ridley International Ltd. has been serving the LME warehousing community since 1976.As the longest established company acting as agents for LME listed warehouses we have the highest level of experience.The Company was originally established in the 1920's as G.C.Ridley & Co. Ltd. As a member of the Baltic Exchange the Company acted as Shipbrokers, Ship Chandlers and representatives of agents, ship builders and stevedores operating in overseas ports worldwide. The Company expanded rapidly after 1945 with the drive to re-establish world trade. Changes in cargo handling methods in the 1960´s and 1970´s opened new opportunities for port operators to expand into new activities.In 1976 a longstanding principal based in the German port of Hamburg decided to become a listed LME warehouse with Ridley acting as the London Agent. This was the start of our LME activities and makes us the oldest LME Agent. We were also the first to introduce a computerised system for the preparation of LME warrants. In 1984 G.C.Ridley & Co. Ltd. split into two companies with Ridley International Ltd. handling the representation of LME listed companies as well as other marine and commercial companies.We are the leading independent agent of LME listed warehouses and the only agent that has been privately owned throughout its history.
