BusinessPro was founded in 1999. The company has expanded steadily since then and in 2008 the company acquired the worldwide rights to StubbsGazette from the US multi-national Dun & Bradstreet. StubbsGazette was first published in 1828.
The year 1828 is notable for a number of other special events including the first publication of Webster’s Dictionary, the birth of the Russian novelist Tolstoy and death of Austrian composer Schubert.

A Man of the Moment
Perhaps no one has influenced our knowledge of life on Earth as much as the
English naturalist Charles Robert Darwin (1809-1882). His theory of evolution
by natural selection, now the unifying theory of the life sciences, explained
where all of the astonishingly diverse kinds of living things came from and
how they became exquisitely adapted to their particular environments.
Charles Darwin's student bills have recently been discovered at Christ's College,
Cambridge, where Darwin was a student from 1828-1831. Thanks in the main to excellent
family sponsorship, Darwin always paid his bills on time and there is no record of any
early mention in StubbsGazette.
