Company History
Halcrow's pedigree stretches back to 1868 when the company's founder, Thomas Meik, worked extensively on port, maritime and railway projects in northern England and Scotland.
During the first half of the 20th century, William Halcrow (later Sir William) established the company as a pioneering force in other areas, notably tunnelling.
Halcrow's first commissions outside of the UK were undertaken in the 1890s. By 2007, projects outside the UK accounted for around half the company's turnover.
Initially named after Thomas Meik, the company became Sir William Halcrow and Partners in 1941. In 1985, a private limited company bearing the same name was formed.
The most recent change was in 1997, when the various Halcrow businesses and departments came together under one name: Halcrow Group Limited.
