Fit-out company Beck Interiors files administration notice

The Mammals Gallery at the Natural History Museum

The Chessington-headquartered company has previously worked with major UK museums

A fit-out specialist with a long history of work with major museums and galleries has filed notice of intention to appoint administrators.

Beck Interiors became an employee-ownership trust (EOT) in 2021, and has worked on major museum projects alongside the hospitality and leisure sector.

The company’s recent projects included the fit-out of the Mammals Gallery at the Natural History Museum, the base build and fit-out of the Energy Revolution Gallery at The Science Museum, and the fit-out of Blackpool’s new Showtown Museum.

A winding-up petition was filed last month against the company by Mitsubishi Electric, supported by five other creditors.

The Chessington-headquartered company began as a traditional joinery shop in Guildford 30 years ago. In 1999 it moved to Chessington and expanded facilities to incorporate a head office.

Beck Interiors has been approached for comment.
