Bishops commenced operations in Port Moresby in 1972 as Bishop Brothers Engineering Limited. The company was started by the three Bishop brothers and initially focused on automotive engineering in the Port Moresby area. As time passed and a demand for complimentary products in new markets emerged, the brothers realised there was an opportunity to diversify their offerings, and grew to include a retail division as part of their company – and the rest is history.

Over the years, Bishops have grown and now operate seven branches across Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands stocking products from leading brands around the globe. All Bishops branches have recently undergone extensive expansion programs to maximise efficiency for customers and make sure they have the industrial supplies required, when they are needed.
