Babcock up 70%

Babcock was set up in 1891. A Scottish structural engineer Sir William Arrol was the first board member. He was the son of a spinner and started work in a cotton mill at only 9 years of age. He started training as a blacksmith by age 13, and went on to learn mechanics and hydraulics at night school. In 1878 he built the Caledonian Railway Bridge over the Clyde, and in 1882 he reconstructed this Tay Rail Bridge. Today Babcock is a global engineering support services Company, working on Defence and Security, Support Services, Marine and Technology. The company does maintenance work on the United Kingdom’s nuclear submarine fleet.
