These two articles overlap hugely (and indeed, a whole wodge of content was cut and pasted from the RS McColl article in this edit).
The only case- at a push- for having separate articles might be to have the history of the RS McColl chain (before the merger with "Martin's") treated separately and in more depth.
But since the existing RS McColl article itself only bothers to include two sentences covering the company's near-hundred year history prior to the 1998 merger in the first place, that's really pushing it.
At any rate, having the two articles is pointless as they stand at present.
