HBG drops Higgs & Hill name
Article Abstract:
A process of consolidation at Dutch construction contractor HBG is likely to lead to UK building units HBG Higgs & Hill, HBG GA and HBG Kyle Stewart all adopting the name HBG Construction from Jan 1, 1999. This development will only have significant repercussions in the south-east of the UK, where both HBG Higgs & Hill and HBG Kyle Stewart operate. Here, a united office will be managed by Martin Rogers of HBG Kyle Stewart and Phillip Tunstall and Graham Cash of HBG Higgs & Hill.
