John Smith & Co were established in 1796. By 1938 they were established as wool sellers at 8 Bold Street, Liverpool, with branches at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen and Carlisle. Until WWII, Bold Street was Liverpool's fashionable shopping street where well-heeled ladies and gentlemen went shopping.

They were incorporated as a limited company in August 1922 and dissolved in March 2019 (registered office was in Edinburgh when dissolved). The company had become dormant in 2016 and under a compulsory strike -off notice, any remaining assets became property of the crown (i.e. the government). The officers (directors) appeared to be members of the Napier family, some of whom were on the board until the age of 80, and others appear to be the second generation.
