About us

Founded over 40 years ago in Battersea, South London, Current Affairs began with small domestic projects before quickly expanding into the restaurant and leisure sector nationwide. During the 1990s and 2000s, the company delivered major rollouts for household names such as Pizza Express, Jamie Oliver and Nando’s, building a reputation for quality and reliability.

Moving to our purpose-built headquarters in 1996, our focus more recently has been on office fit-outs, particularly design and build projects. This approach has allowed us to form strong, lasting partnerships, with many of our clients working with us consistently for over 20 years.

Today, our heritage combines the best of both worlds – prestigious projects in the leisure sector and deep expertise in the office environment. What has never changed is our people-first ethos: reliability, consistency and strong client relationships remain at the heart of everything we do.

Why Current Affairs?

With more than four decades of experience, Current Affairs brings proven expertise and the stability of a long-established team. A number of our engineers and designers have been with us for over 25 years, ensuring consistency, depth of knowledge and continuity across every project. We have the resources to deliver large-scale projects with confidence, while still providing the personal service and flexibility that our clients value.

What sets us apart:

  • Over 40 years of expertise and client care
  • A dedicated, long-standing team you can rely on
  • Resources and capability to manage major projects with ease
  • Deep knowledge of office fit-outs and leisure sector installations
  • Efficient internal processes that have been tried and tested over decades
