Trollope & Colls
Trollope & Colls, 5 Coleman Street, London was once one of the United Kingdom's largest construction companies. The Company was formed out of the merger of George Trollope & Sons (founded by Joseph Trollope, a wallpaper hanger in 1778) and Colls & Sons (founded Benjamin Colls, a painter and decorator in 1840).
On 30th November 1903, the company was registered to amalgamate the building businesses of George Trollope & Sons and Colls & Sons. The merged firm specialised in civil engineering and during World War I undertook pioneering work on reinforced concrete. In 1968 the Company was acquired by Trafalgar House. By 1994, it was the largest contractor in the UK by turnover. Major projects include: Claridges completed in 1897, Debenhams, Wigmore Street 1905-1908, Lloyds Bank, Head Office, Lombard Street, 1931, Interior work for Queen Mary (Cunard liner) 1936 and the Titanic.
