The business began with sailing barges in 1880, trading as F.T. Everard until 1922. The source names the founder F.T. Eberhar[d]t, later changed in response to hostility towards German-sounding names during the First World War. Publications vary the initials. In 1980 Everard absorbed Comben Longstaff while retaining its own name; County Ships, apparently a Comben subsidiary, initially continued under Everard management.
Acquisitions included J. Wharton in 1952, J. Hay in 1956 and Glen in 1961. Other recorded operating or management relationships included Clydesdale Shipowners, Scottish Navigation and County Ships. West River Shipping is listed without a defined relationship. Ship names commonly ended in ity.
