Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Ashmore House Taken from just outside the grid square Ashmore House was built as the headquarters of Davy Ashmore Ltd., which came into existence after Power Gas Corporation (established in 1901) merged with Davy United to become Davy Ashmore Ltd. In 1973 it later became known as Davy International Ltd. and in 1980 Davy McKee.

The eighties and nineties saw the amalgamation, mergers and take overs of several well known engineering businesses. Head Wrightson, Redpath Dorman Long and Davy Mckee all lost their identities under the umbrella of commercially successful conglomerate John Brown and Company. John Brown and Company was taken over by Trafalgar House which itself was brought by the Norwegian group of companies Kværner.

In 2004 Aker Maritime and Kværner merged to form Aker Kværner, the current occupiers of the building.
