The Linder Family had a maritime background and since 1793 had a business of ship's chandlers in London and Liverpool. Coubro and Scrutton Ltd was based on a partnership of ship's chandlers created in 1848 and had branches in all major ports. In supplying shipping needs the company developed an expertise in lifting gear and the building of masts. A special mast order by Marconi took the company into the world of radio and antennae, including for the BBC, ITV and the armed forces. Between 1900 and 1960 the company was under the direction of Charles Linder (1867-1962). He was succeeded by his son, Leslie Linder.
