INTERIOR FIT OUT & REFURBISHMENT SPECIAL PEXHURST
It’s an approach that dates back to its
first client - The Bulldog Public House in
Bullsmoor Lane, Waltham Cross – where,
in 1977, Pexhurst carried out electrical
works to the value of £11. From these
humble beginnings, it has grown to a medi-
um-sized SME working with an established
blue chip client base that includes some of
the world’s largest investment funds.
Dealing mostly with clients in the South
East of England and London, Pexhurst is
experienced in carrying out project work
across a range of sectors and a variety
of refurbishment and fit-out disciplines. A
mark of its success is a reputation for com-
pleting work on time and within budget.
That’s “imperative” says Nick as “many
of our clients are under huge time sensitive
pressure”. Pexhurst is also known for being

a cost effective contractor, adding value to
the solutions it provides. It’s about being
“open and honest with our clients and de-
livering what we can deliver and what we
are good at,” remarks Nick.
“Over the years, we have always invest-
ed in staff training, our computer systems,
many of which are bespoke and have been
written for Pexhurst to grow our capabili-
ties. For greater efficiencies, we are also
using cloud based software for everyday
usage.”
Exceeding Expectation
Indicative of its standards and ability to meet
and often exceed client expectation is an ev-
er-growing list of blue chip clients, many of
whom return for repeat business and recom-
mend Pexhurst to others. Some of its longest
BUILDING DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION MAGAZINE
relationships include delivering in excess of
100 projects for SEGRO over more than 15
years, a near-decade long relationship with the
University of Hertfordshire, and 20-year part-
nerships with numerous pension funds and
building surveying consultancies.
“One of the reasons many of our cli-
ents return to Pexhurst, is that we have
the capability of handling projects that
have the requirement to address com-
plex solutions within the overall scope of
works. One example of our clients where
this is demonstrated is with Workspace
Group plc.,” says Nick.
Workspace owns and manages a ma-
jor property portfolio providing full-service
business centres and commercial prem-
ises in locations throughout London. Its
properties include offices, warehouses,
