This is a story of courage, determination, leadership, insight and enterprise - all on a huge scale and covering almost the entire history of global trade. Today, Inchcape is a world leader in automotive distribution and retailing, but its roots stretch back two centuries to adventurous Scottish merchants who braved uncharted waters to lay the foundations of a unique business empire. Spanning every continent, this empire employed a vast fleet of ships and hundreds of interconnected companies trading everything from cotton cloth to coal.
Pioneering Spirit is a remarkable journey through conflict, upheaval, economic and political turmoil and a constantly mutating business landscape. From the Indian Mutiny and the American Civil War to the recent global financial crisis, Inchcape has survived, prospered and been always ahead of the times.
