Holm & Co were ship owners, ship brokers and stevedores based in Wellington, New Zealand. They were agents for Australian and other foreign airways and shipping lines. The business was founded by Swedish-born Captain Pehr Ferdinand Holm (1844—1917) when he bought the barque Genevie M Tucker in 1889. He had settled in Wellington in 1868. His last sailing ship was the barquentine Titania wrecked off Nouméa in 1914 when the lighthouse was under a wartime blackout. Two sons became marine engineers and two became master mariners. Sydney Holm ran the business before his father died and thereafter. A company was incorporated to take ownership of the business in 1918 with offices in the Huddart Parker Line building in Wellington's Post Office Square.
