Higgs and Hill
Higgs and Hill was a major British construction company responsible for building some of London's finest buildings.
==History==
The Company was established in 1874 by the merger of the firm of Thomas Hill (managed by Rowland and Joseph Hill, grandsons of the founder) with the firm of William Higgs.〔('General introduction', Survey of London: volume 26: Lambeth: Southern area (1956), pp. 1-17. ) Date accessed: 27 March 2010〕 It was originally called ''Hill, Higgs and Hill'' but changed it name to ''Higgs and Hill'' when Rowland Hill retired in 1879.〔 The Company was first based at ''Crown Works'' in Vauxhall but moved to New Malden in 1967.〔(London Metropolitan Archives )〕
Sir Brian Hill, a member of the seventh generation of his family to work in the business, retired in 1992.〔(Sir Brian Hill searches for a trustworthy heir ) Financial Times, 19 April 2007〕 In 1994 it announced a rights issue to finance the acquisition of land for housing but the issue was not well subscribed.〔(Higgs & Hill rights meet poor response: Company 'disappointed but not surprised' ) The Independent, 28 June 1994〕
In 1996 the Company announced poor results arising from re-organisation charges and contract losses.〔(Higgs & Hill dive £8m into the red ) Contract Journal, 4 April 1996〕 The Company was acquired by Hollandsche Beton Groep (later HBG) later that year.〔 HBG was itself acquired by Koninklijke BAM Groep in 2002.〔(BAM Nuttall: History )〕
