History
The firm of stockbrokers was formed on the partnership of Charles Holland (d.1922) and George Paton Balfour (1852-1932). Between 1879 and 1888 a third partner, George Buchanan Hamilton, meant the firm was known as Holland, Balfour and Hamilton. It was based at 2 Cushion Court, Old Broad Street (1877-1925), 310 Gresham House (1925-41), 97 Gresham Street (1941-1945) and 24 Throgmorton Street (1945-59). In 1959 it was taken over by James Capel and Company.
