File of records resulting from Benjamin Bloomfield Trench's work with The Johannesburg Consolidated Investment Company.
The file includes a copy of a report written by Benjamin Bloomfield Trench to the 'Chairman & directors, Johannesburg Consolidated Investment company'. Benjamin argues that reason for him writing the report was because 'prior to my departure for England I think its desirable I should report to you my views as to the working of the company's business and its administration and submit for your consideration a few suggestions in connection therewith.' Within the report Benjamin covers topics such as improving profits, future policy, the mining department and representation on the board.
The file also includes documents such as a balance sheet from 30 June 1895 and a letter from William Bailey accountant answering profit and loss enquiries.
