George Greig

George Greig (1800-) was a entrepreneur, general dealer and publisher in Cape Town.

Born in Pentonville, Scotland, he arrived in Cape Town on 9 March 1823 and set up as an entrepreneur, opening a general dealership at No.1 Longmarket Street, selling household items, groceries, stationary and books. He later began a publishing house and would publish a number of influential journals and newspapers, most notably the South African Journal, and the South African Commercial Advertiser.

In 1847 he sold his publishing and printing business to his then partner, Saul Solomon, and the latter's brother, Henry Solomon, and it became known as Saul Solomon & Co.
