"Isaac Reckitt (1792-1862) was the founder of Reckett & Sons, a business that emerged to become Reckitt Benckiser, one of UK's largest consumer goods businesses. In 1840 Isaac Reckitt rented a starch mill in Hull, England, he diversified into other household products and in due course passed on his business to his four sons. Reckitt & Sons was first listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1888. In 1938 the firm merged with J.& J. Coleman to become Reckitt & Coleman Ltd." (Quote from Auction-net)
