Sir David Anderson (1880–1953) was a Scottish civil engineer and lawyer.[1]
Anderson was born in 1880 at Leven, Fife, Scotland.[2] In 1921, on his return from Army service, Anderson joined a partnership with fellow engineers Basil Mott and David Hay, forming the company Mott Hay and Anderson.[3] Mott, Hay and Anderson traded until 1989, when it merged with Sir M MacDonald & Partners to form Mott MacDonald.
Anderson was elected president of the Institution of Civil Engineers for the November 1943 to November 1944 session.[4]
