Tim & Kit Kemp

We have had the pleasure of providing Cost Consultancy for Firmdale Hotels for almost three decades now (and counting). Mark Greenway, founder of Greenway Associates, was originally appointed as Quantity Surveyor for Tim & Kit Kemp’s Covent Garden Hotel in 1994. This was to be our first of many projects with Firmdale Hotels, that have ranged from small private members’ clubs to the ultra successful Ham Yard Hotel.
