Our Story Since 2004

Built on Family Heritage & Technical Excellence

Founded two decades ago in London, HCL Interiors expanded the Holloway family’s established British construction heritage into a premier commercial design-and-build contractor.

Under Managing Director Jamie Holloway, who assumed leadership from his father, HCL has championed a hands-on management approach where directors remain visibly active and accessible on all operational sites. In 2016, Equity Partner Anthony Murphy joined the firm, spearheading the creation of our dedicated in-house Mechanical and Electrical (M&E) division.

Today, our 8-person operational headquarters team in Clerkenwell coordinates over 60 site operatives and 30+ M&E engineers, managing 50 to 60 planned and reactive maintenance tickets every single day across 35+ Central London corporate properties.

Client Enquiries

Commercial Fit-Out & Facilities FAQ

Straightforward answers regarding CAT A vs CAT B specifications, occupied refurbishments, and maintenance SLAs.

A CAT A (Category A) fit-out delivers the basic functional commercial landlord space: raised access flooring, suspended acoustic ceilings, basic mechanical ventilation, perimeter electrical distribution, and core life safety systems. A CAT B (Category B) fit-out transforms that space into a move-in-ready corporate workspace: custom partition walls, private meeting rooms, bespoke joinery, tea points, breakout cafes, brand finishes, and integrated AV/data cabling.

Yes. Many of our flagship projects—including Soho Square (5,865 sq ft) and Ministry of Sound—were executed while buildings maintained 100% active tenant occupation. We operate strict dust and acoustic containment, perform noisy works during agreed out-of-hours windows, and deploy double-shift teams to safeguard business continuity.

For urgent reactive maintenance across our Central London portfolio (EC1, EC2, EC3, EC4, W1, WC1, WC2), our response window is under 45 minutes from our Clerkenwell desk. For major fit-out and refurbishment projects, we have a proven mobilization record of just 48 hours from brief approval to on-site trade commencement.

Without exception. We hold full NICEIC Approved Contractor accreditation, Gas Safe registration, REFCOM F-Gas certification, and manufacturer approvals from Daikin and Mitsubishi Electric. All works receive formal Electrical Installation Certificates (EICRs), commissioning data, and UKAS ISO 9001 quality audits.
