Mr George Holt (1825–1896) was a Victorian ship owner and merchant. He was born in Liverpool and lived at Sudley House. Mr. Holt and Mr William James Lamport (originally from Lancaster) established the “Lamport & Holt Line” in 1845. Mr Holt was a worthy citizen and associated himself with many beneficent institutions in the city of his birth, becoming a munificent supporter of the Liverpool University, in connection with which he founded and endowed Chairs of Physiology and Pathology. He is also the namesake of the University of Liverpool's George Holt building, which currently houses the laboratories of the University's Department of Materials Engineering.
