BI Online staff group

Did you work for BI?

With more than 550 members, the online group of former BI staff is flourishing. Members' service in BI spans more than 30 years, up to the company's extinction in 1972, and membership embraces sea and shore staff from most of BI's areas of operation.

Discussion in the group is lively and covers many topics dear to the hearts of BI people, including ships, friends and old shipmates, reminiscences and the like.

Anyone who worked on staff for BI, or immediate family of BI staff*, Marconi radio officers who served in BI ships*, people who worked for shipping agencies closely connected with BI*, may apply to join the group. If you are not familiar with internet forums or mailing lists, the idea is that messages are posted by members of the group to the 'board'. Members of the group can then see all the messages (either delivered by email to their mailbox or available at a protected website) and in that way discussions on various subjects can ensue. It's a great way for a far-flung group like the BI crowd to stay in touch.
