Langham Industries is a British company that owns Portland Port and formerly owned Appledore shipyard.

Early history and description

Langham Industries was founded by John Langham[1] (1924 – 2017[2]) in 1980 through the acquisition of propeller company Stone Manganese Marine.[3] The company is run by John Langham's children[1] with Chris Langham as the company chairman in 2019.[4]

The company is headquartered in Dorchester, Dorset[5] and is a sister company of Langham Wine Estate,[6] located in the same city.[7]

Activities and history

The company purchased Stone Foundries in 1982.[8]

Langham Industries bought Portland Port from the Ministry of Defence in 1996[1] and took full control from the Royal Navy in 1997, developing the port into a commercial success serving British military vessels, cargo vessels and cruise ships.[9] In 2023, the port generated income from berthing fees from hosting the Bibby Stockholm refugee accommodation vessel.[1]

The company previously owned Appledore shipyard in Bideford,[10] having purchased the site from the UK Government in 1989.[11] The company leased the yard to Babcock International.[12] Babcock operated the yard until 2019.[10] In 2020, Langham Industries sold the shipyard to InfraStrata for £7 million.[10]

Langham Industries has donated over £70,000 to the UK Independence Party, according to the Daily Mirror.[1]
