Carroll Group
The Carroll Group was a family-owned group of businesses formed in the early twentieth century that expanded rapidly in the 1980s when it was taken over by Gerald Carroll, grandson of the founder. At that time it was one of the largest private businesses in Britain, but it collapsed in the early 1990s under the weight of its debt and amid accusations of fraud. Gerald Carroll has since campaigned to have the collapse of the group recognised as a fraud but without apparent success.
==Origins==
The Carroll Group was a three generation family-owned private business founded by John E. "Jock" Carroll who was descended from the Irish O'Carroll clan.〔 Jock may have had a role in the purchase by the Ford Motor Company in 1924〔"New Ford Factory", ''Western Gazette'', 18 July 1924, p. 9.〕 of the land in Essex on which the company built its Dagenham car plant. The plant produced its first vehicle in 1931〔("80 years of Ford at Dagenham" ), Paul Hudson, ''Daily Telegraph'', 15 May 2009. Retrieved 28 April 2015.〕 and Jock Carroll also built homes for the workers at the plant, using similar mass production building techniques to Ford under the slogan "a house a day, a street a week".〔"How did this man's 500m world wide business empire vanish into thin air?", Dan Atkinson, ''Mail on Sunday'', 5 November 2000, p. 13.〕 The business was then taken over by Jock's son John Carroll (born around 1929)〔" 'Bully' son banned by tycoon", John Kay & Bill Coles, ''The Sun'', 13 January 1996, p. 11.〕 and in the late 1970s by his grandson Gerald Carroll (born 1951) after which it began to expand rapidly.〔"Party ends as property meteor crashes to earth", John Waples, ''The Sunday Times'', 26 February 1995, pp. 2 & 7.〕
