What Francis Hunter Group does

Francis Hunter Group is a UK-based integrated professional services firm headquartered in Thames Ditton, Surrey, operating through four wholly-owned subsidiaries: Francis Hunter (project management), Maze Workplace (workspace design), FHCM (cost consultancy), and Centrodoc (secure online property and project archive). Founded in 2018 and employing 15 staff, the group serves commercial property developers, occupiers, landlords, and private property investors across the United Kingdom, providing end-to-end services from business case establishment and planning through construction, fit-out, and post-completion documentation.

The group's platform-plus-modules structure allows each subsidiary to be engaged individually or collectively on integrated projects. Three subsidiaries operate on a professional services fee model (quote-based pricing tailored to project scope), while Centrodoc functions as a subscription-based document archiving platform — the only recurring-revenue product in the portfolio. The underlying technology stack is conventional: the group is a professional services organisation rather than a technology company, with Centrodoc being a secure online document repository rather than a differentiated software product. No APIs, SDKs, integrations, patents, or proprietary technology features are disclosed.

Revenue is generated through direct B2B sales led by each operating subsidiary, supported by a group-level website and four dedicated microsites. Marketing is primarily relationship- and referral-driven, consistent with UK professional services norms. The firm is privately held as Francis Hunter Ltd, a private limited company registered in England, with no disclosed external investors, funding rounds, acquisitions, partnerships, or leadership team information. Geographic scope is single-country (United Kingdom), and no awards, certifications, or regulatory actions are recorded.
