Founded in 1985 by Gordon Wells, Powells began as a shopfitting company and quickly rose to become one of the UK’s leaders in the sector. While our roots are in shopfitting, today we are a fully evolved fit-out partner, blending precision delivery, agile project management, and strategic construction integration whenever required.
We’re a hands-on team who care about what we build and who we build it for.
From directors to contracts managers and delivery partners, everyone at Powells shares the same commitment: make the process feel effortless, and the end result exceptional.
At Powells, sustainability is more than a checkbox, it’s embedded in how we work. We are ISO 14001 certified and fully compliant with the Environmental Protection Act 1990. Our team continually reviews and improves working methods to reduce environmental impact, priorities responsible waste management, and ensure sustainable sourcing through FSC® and PEFC™ certified materials.
