Fitting out London's finest buildings
As you may know, over the last four years we’ve been establishing an in-house upholstery department to bolster the quality of services we offer our clients. Over the last four years, Brown & Carroll FABRIC has worked on prestigious projects in major cities in the UK and abroad, including Annabel’s in London – one of the most elegant clubs in the world.
Thanks to our fully fitted workshop and specialist team, we have full control over the quality of the upholstery we produce while being able to turn round projects fast. This often reduces the overall time spent on our fit-out projects, resulting in cost savings for our clients.
Let’s meet the people behind this vital part of our business!
