Blue Power was founded in 2001 by Dr. Dhiru Tanna and other leading business partners including Antony Hart C.D., Mark Hart, Jane Fray, Peter Millingen, and Kenneth Benjamin C.D. after previously coming together to start Lumber Depot in 1998. On recognizing that Jamaica is a large consumer of cake laundry soap the Lumber Depot founders made a strategic decision to begin a small laundry soap manufacturing operation at its premises at Victoria Avenue which was at the time being used as the Lumber Depot head office as well as storage facility for imported lumber.
