History
The business was established by Alexander Dundas in 1908 and incorporated as Melville Dundas & Whitson in 1932.[1] Kenneth Dundas took over as chairman of the business in 1937.[1] During the Second World War the company was one of the contractors engaged in building the Mulberry harbour units.[2] The company was acquired by F J C Lilley plc in 1981[3] which traded as Lilley plc from April 1989[4] until it went into receivership in January 1993.[5] Melville Dundas was bought out of receivership by the management but went into administration itself in May 2003.[6]
Major projects undertaken by the company included the George V Bridge, Glasgow completed in 1928,[7] the extension to the Glasgow Dental Hospital and School completed in 1970,[8] University Hospital Crosshouse completed in 1978[9] and the conversion of Queen's Hall, Edinburgh completed in 1979.[10]
