250 years of service

In 2010 we celebrated 250 years of quality and service.

Since 1760, Lloyd’s Register has worked to enhance the safety of life, property and the environment, at sea, on land and in the air, helping its clients to ensure safe, responsible and sustainable supply chains.

In 2010 we celebrated 250 years of independent assurance. In that time the organisation has seen remarkable technological developments, including the advent of steam propulsion, computers, nuclear power and gigantic assets, and has itself undergone a dramatic expansion.

Colleagues were encouraged to look to the future throughout 2010 and to give something back to their local communities with a special commemorative campaign. The LR250 initiative gave everyone in the organisation the opportunity to work on a project that will benefit their local community. Some projects are continuing in 2011. Visit the LR250 website, www.lr250.org, to read more about the campaign.

A special history book to commemorate the anniversary was published in December 2010. It takes a completely fresh look at our history and development.
