About our name:
Recognising the spirit of the Rathbones
Rathbone Greenbank Investments takes its name from the former home of the Rathbone family, Greenbank House, located just outside central Liverpool. Over several generations, the Rathbones were dedicated philanthropists and social reformers - indeed William Rathbone VI regarded wealth and success chiefly as a means to the achievement of public and philanthropic work. His daughter, Eleanor Rathbone was committed to improving the lives of women and children. One of the first female MPs, she successfully campaigned to pass the Family Allowances Act in 1945.
Over the years, Greenbank would have seen the Rathbones and their friends campaigning to abolish the slave trade, arguing for the provision of popular education, grappling with the challenge of creating a district nursing service and debating the justice of votes for women. Florence Nightingale became a friend of the family in the 1860s. Other notable visitors included the industrialist turned social visionary Robert Owen; and the American painter and naturalist John James Audubon.
During the 1930s and 1940s, parts of the Greenbank estate were given to the University of Liverpool, with Greenbank House itself being donated in 1944.
