History
The company was established under the name Morgan Lovell by its founders, John Morgan and Jack Lovell, in 1977; it initially had £1,000 in capital and was based at Golden Square in Soho.[3] Overbury, a fit out contractor which had been in business since 1942, was acquired by the company during 1985; rebranded as Morgan Lovell and Overbury, the company quickly expanded throughout the UK around this time.[4]
During 1994, Morgan Lovell and Overbury secured a listing on the London Stock Exchange via a £13.5 million reverse takeover of the regional construction company William Sindall plc.[5]
