The Company was formed
in 1966 as King and Sons Dunn & co. Travel. The company changed names to
Ellerman King Travel in 1970. In 1976 the agency was solely owned by King and Sons and became
part of the Grindrod Group - the name was therefore changed to Grindrod King Travel.
In March 1993 the
company acquired a larger agency with a stronger brand - Jet International. In 2006 the decision was
taken to change the name to Grindrod Travel to align with the Grindrod Group's brand
marketing strategy. Grindrod Travel has
