History
The stockbroking firm of J and A Scrimgeour first appears in printed lists of members of the Stock Exchange in 1864. It became a limited company in ca. 1972. In around 1981, J and A Scrimgeour Limited merged with Kemp-Gee and Company to form Scrimgeour, Kemp-Gee and Company. The new company joined with Vickers da Costa (UK) Limited in 1985 to form Scrimgeour Vickers and Company. At this date Citicorp Investment Bank Limited acquired a minority stake in the firm, later taking full control. The constituent companies were subsequently closed down.
J and A Scrimgeour had premises at 18 Old Broad Street (1864-c 1903); South Sea House, Threadneedle Street (c 1903-1909); 2 and 3 Hatton Court, Threadneedle Street ([1909-1921]); 6 Austin Friars ([1921-1930]); 3 Lothbury and 5 Moorgate ([1930-1945]); 3 Lothbury ([1945-1952]); 15 and 16 George Street, Mansion House Place ([1952]-1976).
