About
The company origins date back to 1884, when brothers Edmund and Augustus Hughes formed London and Tilbury Lighterage Company Limited, which specialised in transferring cargo between vessels.
RM Douglas was founded by Sir Robert Douglas, a construction engineer and Midlands industrialist of Scottish background. RM Douglas was a West Midlands building and civil engineering contractor that also had a formwork and scaffolding business, now known as RMD Kwikform.
In 1991, the two companies merged forming Tilbury Douglas.
In 2001 the group rebranded as Interserve plc, a name change to reflect the shift in focus towards maintenance and facilities management services.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Interserve Construction supported the UK government including building the Birmingham Nightingale hospital at the NEC, a building it had built originally under RM Douglas.
In November 2020, the group’s facilities management business was acquired by Mitie Group Plc.
