MEH FAMILY HOLDINGS
This website is a tribute to our very interesting and diverse family history. Edward Bibbey chased the South African gold rush and ended up farming its lands. Bibbey's Hoek, where he sold mining equipment, is named after him. Bernard Hallick received the top engineering scholarship in South Africa and was the chief engineer for building of many of its iconic bridges. Harold Madderson was captured by the Japanese in World War II. The movie Bridge On The River Kwa tells the story of his regiment's ordeals as prisonors of war.
The investments held by the family aim to uphold the family values and ideals and establish a legacy for family members of future generations to carry forward.
