McFarlane Telfer (MCFT) was started by Chris Craggs in January 1992 in a small, fabrication workshop in Maidenhead, England, producing bespoke stainless steel for London’s West End 5* hotels.
In 1998, the fabricators were joined by service technicians, allowing the business to supply and install turnkey projects. The 2008 Global Financial Crisis prompted a re-appraisal and since October 2010, the business has been focused on commercial kitchen maintenance.
Expansion
Growing from that small base, in January 2015, the Dubai team started, rapidly joined by colleagues in Qatar and, in 2019, Saudi Arabia with teams in three locations across the Kingdom. In 2021, the Netherlands, in 2022, the Philippines, 2023 Oman and Belgium; the only multi-territory business in the industry now comprises more than 400 colleagues, with nearly 300 technicians and continues, at the request of its customers, to open new branches in new countries every year.
