The Association was incorporated in 1909 and was rather different from similar bodies, in that it was divided into three spheres of influence: London, Dundee and Liverpool, each with its Secretary and Board of Directors. The objects of the Association were to regularise and control matters dealing with the purchase and sale of jute goods in the United Kingdom. The contract used conformed to that of the Calcutta Jute Fabric Shippers' Association, with some additional clauses relating to local requirements. Disputes and arbitrations were dealt with by the local Board. The United Kingdom Jute Goods Association Ltd was not part of the A & S Henry group.

A & S Henry & Co Ltd was founded in 1805 in Manchester by Alexander Henry in partnership with his brother Samuel. Their uncle, Alexander Henry (born 1766 of Scottish parents), had emigrated to America from Ireland in 1783, establishing himself as a merchant in Philadelphia. The younger Alexander Henry also emigrated from Ireland and joined in his uncle's business but returned to England in 1804, rapidly establishing his company in marketing and distributing the products of the cotton industry from Manchester. The company expanded, opening branch offices in Bradford, Belfast, Leeds, Huddersfield and Glasgow to act as collecting stations for textile products of all kinds. In 1858 an office was opened in Dundee at 51 St Andrews Street although all business continued to be carried out through Glasgow until c.1903. The company's Dundee interests grew with the acquisition of premises and existing companies in the city and in 1953 A & S Henry & Co (Dundee) Ltd was incorporated as a separate company. In 1972 A & S Henry & Co was taken over by Great Universal Stores and in the same year A & S Henry & Co (Dundee) Ltd was taken over entirely by the Titaghur Jute Factory Co Ltd
