About Us

The team at THE FOX HUT, led by John Chalker, combines a wealth of experience from three decades of work within the hospitality industry carrying out full design and fit-out projects throughout the UK, Europe and the Middle East.

Individually and together we have worked with many internationally renowned hotel groups, including Hilton, IHG, Jumeirah, Sheraton and Barceló hotels, as well as with many other prestigious individual owner operators. Recently we have also used our knowledge and experience in hotels to deliver stylish interiors for a number of private members’ clubs such as The Royal Automobile Club in London, schools and golf clubs.

We offer a comprehensive package of design services from conception to completion: apart from the complete design package, our team will also provide FF&E schedule, budgets and programming, project administration, procurement of interior elements, installation and on-site implementation.

Other services that we offer though our associate network include architectural support, planning and statutory authority applications, graphic design solutions and architectural and interior photography services.
