Mott, Hay and Anderson
Basil Mott and David Hay built their company on 30 July 1902. Both were building London tube railways. They focussed their work on heavy civil engineering projects such as bridges, tunnels, railways and docks. For example projects as the City & South London Railway, the building and extension of the Central London Railway, construction of the lifts at St Mary Woolnoth church at Bank tube station, the underpinning of Clifford's Tower, works on Southwark Bridge and Blackfriars Bridge. 19 years later David Anderson joined their business. The firm was thereafter called Mott, Hay and Anderson. G L Groves joined the company in 1933. The name stayed the same. Mott and Hay died in 1938. In 1989 the company stopped trading as Motts, Hay and Anderson. Today its called Mott McDonald.
