The business was once a division of Taylor Woodrow, one of the largest housebuilding and general construction companies in Britain, which merged with rival George Wimpey in July 2007 to create the Taylor Wimpey housebuilding group. In September 2008, Taylor Woodrow Construction was acquired from Taylor Wimpey by Vinci. HistoryEarly yearsThe Taylor Woodrow business was founded in Blackpool as a housebuilder by Frank Taylor and his uncle, Jack Woodrow, creating the Taylor Woodrow name.[2] In 1930, Taylor moved to London and his business eventually established headquarters in Southall.[3] In 1935, the housebuilding business was floated on the London Stock Exchange as Taylor Woodrow Estates.[4] In 1937, Taylor Woodrow Construction was formed and, after a modest start, the company was soon engaged in defence work. With the outbreak of World War II in 1939, private housing development stopped, and for six years Taylor Woodrow built military camps, airfields and factories, and worked on the Mulberry harbour units.[2] 1945-2008By 1945, Taylor Woodrow had become a substantial construction business, and it expanded into domestic civil construction work and internationally, working in East Africa (it was involved in the notorious Groundnut Scheme), then west and South Africa and, in the 1950s, Australia, Canada and the middle east.[2] In the UK, Taylor Woodrow Construction became a prominent contractor in the power generation industry, building first conventional power stations and then the world's first commercial nuclear power station, Calder Hall. Hartlepool, Hinkley Point A, Wylfa and Sizewell A followed. In the private sector, notable contracts included terminal buildings at London Heathrow airport, and the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral.[2] Work in middle east helped grow Taylor Woodrow’s international construction business and by the mid 1970s overseas profits accounted for two thirds of group profits. The centrepiece was the joint venture with Costain to build the dry docks at Port Rashid Dubai, described as "the largest single overseas contract ever undertaken by the British construction industry".[5] However, by the 1980s, middle east construction was declining and the parent Taylor Woodrow group was increasingly focused on housebuilding and the commercial property market.[6] Taylor Woodrow Construction was part of the Channel Tunnel consortium (completed in 1994) but its operations were less important to the group. A series of mergers and acquisitions culminated in the £6 billion merger with George Wimpey forming Taylor Wimpey in March 2007,[7] and just over a year later, in September 2008, Vinci plc, the British subsidiary of France's Vinci SA, acquired Taylor Woodrow Construction from Taylor Wimpey for £74m.[8][9] 2008-presentOne of four divisions, Taylor Woodrow Construction is Vinci Construction UK's civil engineering business.[10] In early 2009, Vinci planned to reorganise all UK operations under one name,[11] but the Taylor Woodrow brand was eventually retained (though the company's 'teamwork' logo was retained by Taylor Wimpey).[12] Notable projects undertaken by Taylor Woodrow ConstructionMajor projects completed by the company have included the Mulberry harbours completed in 1944,[13] the Tanganyika groundnut scheme completed in 1951,[14] Calder Hall nuclear power station completed in 1956,[15] Hinkley Point A nuclear power station completed in 1965,[16] Sizewell A nuclear power station completed in 1966,[16] Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral completed in 1967,[2] Ronan Point completed in 1968,[17] Wylfa Nuclear Power Station completed in 1971,[16] Port Rashid in Dubai completed in 1972,[5] Hartlepool Nuclear Power Station completed in 1983,[16] the Channel Tunnel completed in 1994,[18] the Riverside Stadium on Teesside completed in 1995,[19] Amersham and Wycombe Hospitals completed in 2000,[20] the redevelopment of the Royal Albert Hall completed in 2003,[21] the Princess Royal University Hospital at Farnborough completed in 2003,[22] the National Assembly for Wales at Cardiff Bay completed in 2006[23] and the King's Cross Western Ticketing Hall completed in 2006.[24] Taylor Woodrow Construction has been engaged on several London Crossrail projects, including updates to 13 stations from West London into Berkshire, a depot at Old Oak Common (completed in 2018),[25] and station works at Tottenham Court Road, Liverpool Street and Whitechapel stations.[26] Bibliography
