Sir David Anderson (6 July 1880–27 March 1953)[1] was a Scottish civil engineer and lawyer.[2]
Anderson was born in 1880 at Leven, Fife, Scotland.[3] 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.[4] 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.[5] He was created a Knight Bachelor in 1951.[1]
