A young army agent plants the seeds of a travel empire
In 1758, Richard Cox established Cox & Co. as an army agent in British India, providing essential services to military officers stationed far from home.
What began as a service for military officers—handling their pay, correspondence, and travel arrangements—would evolve into the world's first organized travel company.

From serving soldiers to serving royalty
Throughout the 1800s, Cox & Co. expanded its services beyond military personnel, becoming the trusted travel partner for British aristocracy and royalty.
The company pioneered organized tours to exotic destinations, setting standards for luxury travel that would define the industry for centuries.

Two legendary names unite
In 1922, Cox & Co. merged with Henry S. King & Co., another prestigious travel and banking firm, creating Cox & Kings Ltd.
This merger combined over 150 years of combined expertise, creating a travel powerhouse that would shape the future of global tourism.
