PMKConsult establishes London base as UAE-founded consultancy strengthens UK operations

PMKConsult, one of the largest dedicated project, commercial and design management consultancies in the UAE, announces the opening of its London office, marking a significant milestone in the firm's UK operations.

The London base will be led by Kevin Woolley, CEO of PMKConsult, and will serve as the consultancy's European hub as it scales its services across the UK and Europe. The firm has been operating in the UK since 2023 through the acquisition of W Hiles Partnership, which has a strong track record in F&B, hospitality and retail fit-out, with clients including Five Guys, Chipotle and The Wendy's Company.

Kevin Woolley, CEO of PMKConsult, said: ‘The UK is showing a resilient pipeline of work, with a strong demand for student accommodation, hotels, offices and homes in major cities across the UK. While rising costs and regulations such as the Building Safety Act are impacting viability, this is precisely where we add value as a safe pair of hands to make sure project ambitions are met on time and on budget.

Establishing a physical presence in London reflects our commitment to delivering the same hands-on and personable service to UK clients that has made us one of the most trusted names in the Middle East. Our UK clients will benefit from our global expertise, offshore measurement studio and our expanding design management offer.

PMKConsult currently manages a portfolio of UK-based projects spanning residential, BTR, PBSA, F&B and hospitality sectors. The consultancy offers specialist expertise in supporting global F&B brands entering or expanding in the UK market and partnering with global design and engineering firms to provide local intelligence and on-the-ground support. 

Founded in the UAE in 2009, PMKConsult has grown to become one of the GCC’s most recognised consultancies, with a project portfolio exceeding USD $8 billion and a delivery footprint spanning more than 30 countries across the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, North America, Asia and Europe. Its integrated service offer includes specialist services such as technical due diligence, building surveying services and an offshore measurement studio.

The opening of the London office follows the consultancy’s continued regional growth, including offices in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Ras Al Khaimah in the UAE and Riyadh in the KSA.
