Background
History
Named after current Chief Executive Gerald Ronson's father Henry Ronson, Heron was a furniture manufacture and sales business. In 1954, aged 15, Henry's son Gerald joined the family firm, and at the age of 17 was put in charge of developing a new factory. When a mail-order firm put in an offer for the factory as it was approaching completion, Heron entered the property market. Heron Homes became one of the biggest house builders in the South of England.

Description
The company also developed The Heron in London's Square Mile on the site of Milton Court. Rather than offices, the slender 36-storey tower includes 285 luxury apartments. The lower floors of the development incorporate new facilities for the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.
