Trollope & Colls
Trollope & Colls was once one of the United Kingdom's largest construction companies.
==History==
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 by Benjamin Colls, a painter and decorator, in 1840).〔(Trollope & Colls at the National Archives )〕
The merged firm started to specialise in civil engineering and during World War I undertook pioneering work on reinforced concrete.〔 In 1969 the Company was acquired by Trafalgar House.〔 By 1994 it was the largest contractor in the United Kingdom by turnover.〔(The British building industry since 1800 By Christopher Powell Page 220 ) Routledge, 1996, ISBN 978-0-419-20730-6〕
On 18 April 1996 Norwegian shipbuilding and engineering group Kvaerner acquired ''Trafalgar House Construction'', as the business became known, as part of a £904 million offer for Trafalgar House plc.〔(Kvaerner Is Close to Bidding for Troubled Group: Lifeline for Trafalgar House? ) International Herald Tribune, 28 February 1996〕
