+Alistair Wood, AEG Europe

‘G F Holding acted as main contractor for AEG on two significant fit out projects within The O2, the Indigo Live Music Club and the British Music Experience.

G F Holding delivered both of the above projects on time and on budget and displayed a very pro-active approach in doing so. In the lead in to handover on both projects, G F were particularly positive, adopting a can-do approach when it might have been equally easy to make more of possible reasons for delay. They maintained clean and safely run construction sites and interfaced with Sir Robert McAlpine, the main base build contractor efficiently.’

I think its success is to a large extent a result of the Team’s endeavours.’

+Hugh Corrance, Former Odeon Cinemas Managing Director

‘In my capacity as Regional Engineer and latterly Director of Rank Technical Services, I have worked with G F Holdings for over 30 years. Their work was always carried out to a very high standard within budget and never late.

The team at G F Holdings, which has changed little in the 30 years I have worked with them, have a vast knowledge, across the country, of such buildings. Indeed, given their 100 year history, there can be no other company in the UK with the collective knowledge of cinema and theatre buildings that Holdings have.

If the work you require needs to be carried out to a very high standard, and programme timing is important, then I have no hesitation in recommending them to you for any building or decorating works.’
