Administrative / Biographical History
The Scottish Wine & Spirit Merchants Benevolent Institution was founded in 1866 in Glasgow, Scotland. In 1870 , the institution was incorporated as a company limited by members. Members paid to join the institution, making a one-off payment for life membership and paying a premium that the company then invested in government bonds and on the stock market. Membership was open to those working in the licensing trade. In 1880, the company stated its purpose as assisting its members, their widows, and their families when required, providing education for the families of indigent members.
Following various financial losses in the late 1960s and early 1970s, the company went into voluntary liquidation in 1976. The company's assets were to be transferred to the Benevolent Society of the Licensed Trade of Scotland . The Scottish Wine & Spirit Merchants Benevolent Institution was then integrated with the East of Scotland Licensed Trade Benevolent Institution which was incorporated as the East of Scotland Licensed Trade Benevolent Institution in 1976 .
