- Holloway Brothers (London) Ltd.
Holloway Brothers (London) Ltd was a leading British building company specialising in restoration work based in London.
History
The company was founded in 1882 by two brothers, Henry Thomas Holloway and Henry Holloway, at Queen's Road in Battersea.
Notable projects include the construction of The Old Bailey, major extensions to The Bank of England, and restoration of Buckingham Palace after the palace was bombed during World War II.
Other projects included Chelsea Bridge completed in 1937 [ [http://thames.me.uk/s00170.htm Where Thames Smooth Waters Glide (Chelsea)] ] and Wandsworth Bridge completed in 1940. [ [http://thames.me.uk/s00210.htm Where Thames Smooth Waters Glide (Wandsworth)] ] The company also completed many notable building and civil engineering projects in Australia and the Middle East, such as Baghdad Railway Station, and the King Faisal & King Ghazi Bridges. In 1960 the company acquired White Allom Limited, a business led by Sir Charles White Allom, antiques advisor and interior decorator to King George V and Queen Mary.
In 1964 Holloway Brothers was acquired by John Laing plc. The company began to operate under the name of Holloway White Allom in 1968 and continues to do so. The company was bought out by the management from John Laing plc in 2002.
Senior management
During the First World War, Lloyd George approached Henry Holloway for advice regarding the war-time housing shortage, which Henry provided for within six months, earning him his knighthood in 1917.
Henry Thomas' son, also named Henry Thomas, was knighted after his contribution to the construction industry during the Second World War. He also served as the President of the Federation of Civil Engineering Contractors from 1940 to 1946.
