David Chalmers Neave

David Chalmers Neave was a printer at the Singapore Straits Printing Company and co-founder of Fraser and Neave, a food and beverage, brewing, property and publishing industries conglomerate in Singapore.

History

In 1875, a partnership was formed between John Fraser and David Chalmers Neave to buy up Keasberry's Mission Press when the owner, Reverend Keasberry died, and later renamed it Fraser and Neave. In 1883, the partnership formed the Singapore and Straits Aerated Water Company.

In 1898, the company was incorporated as Fraser and Neave (F&N), Ltd.[1] From a soft drinks base, Fraser & Neave ventured into the businesses of beer in 1931, dairies in 1959, property development and management in 1990 and publishing & printing in 2000.[2]
