About

Robert Philp (1851–1922) was a politician and slave trader. They were born in Glasgow. They served as Premier of Queensland.

In context

Queensland Insurance Company was founded in 1886 and closed in 1973, after 87 years. Among the 109 other business companies founded in the 1880s we hold, those that closed lasted a median of 81 years, so this one outlasted most of them.
