Alan Witherby - Chairman

From early ambitions to be a City of London printer and stationer, Alan saw an opportunity to publish in the area of Marine Insurance.  This proved successful so he then commissioned books to be written by top practitioners mainly from the Lloyd's of London market place.
 
Over the years, publishing spilled over into Shipping and Risk Management.  Witherby`s now has over 350 titles, written by institutional bodies and individual authors, the greater number of these covering all aspects of the shipping industry.
 
Alan claims to be the leading international publisher of shipping and insurance texts, few would argue with that!
 
His main interests, outside work, are a love of gardening, opera and his wife, but not necessarily in that order!

Ambition at 7 years old - to be a Gardener.
