Family background
Frederick Ringer was born 1838 in Norwich but spent most of his life in Japan. Frederick, like his elder brother John, left Norwich for the East Asia whilst still young. The middle brother of the three, Sydney Ringer MD, FRS (1836–1910) became an eminent physician, physiologist and pharmacologist at University College, London.

Career
In 1856, at the age of 25, Frederick was already a tea inspector in China with the prominent English company of Fletcher & Co. This is early in the time of the fast tea clippers that literally raced to bring the seasonal tea cargoes to Europe; the Cutty Sark (built 1869) was one of the last of the clippers. Fortunes could be made—and lost—in the China tea trade. In 1865, Frederick was recruited by Glover & Co. to supervise the company's tea trade in Nagasaki, the great sea port on the western coast of Kyushu, Japan. In 1868, he joined with fellow Englishman Edward Z Holme to found Holme Ringer & Co.  Here, trade was also in tea initially, but soon expanded with the first burgeoning of Japanese industry to include shipping, coal, munitions and even to exports of seaweed, shark fins and vegetable wax, all important items of trade at that time.  Holme left Japan soon after to conduct the London end of the business and eventually left the interests in Japan to his partner.

Frederick’s main associate at the Nagasaki end of the business was John C. Smith, who had worked with him previously at Glover & Co.

In 1888, Holme Ringer & Co. moved its headquarters to No. 7 Oura, a choice location on the Nagasaki waterfront.  Holme Ringer & Co. served as Lloyd's representative in Nagasaki and agents for a long list of international banking, insurance and shipping companies. It also began to expand overseas, with branch offices in China and Korea, as well as conducting extensive trade with Russia.
