Company

About Hollis

Hollis is a leading independent real estate consultancy. We work with owners, occupiers, developers and funders, across both private and public sectors, to help them get more out of their real estate.

We’re a multi-skilled team of surveyors, engineers, technical specialists, consultants and project managers operating across the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe. We have a unique way of working and believe that people do things better by doing them together. We aim to do the right thing, be clear, transparent and find some fun along the way.

Our story

Since 1991 we’ve shaped our own path to the forefront of international real estate consulting, always guided by our clients’ interests. Remaining independent, and now employee-owned has enabled us to act on foresight, building in-house specialisms and a Europe-wide network of offices ahead of market demand. Meanwhile we’ve sought and nurtured the sector’s best talent. And now, as real estate becomes increasingly complex, we’re equipped to take on every challenge and opportunity our clients face.

Our Approach

Our company spirit is unique — open, energetic, ambitious for our clients and ourselves, yet always approachable. We build partnerships, bringing expertise, technology and a pragmatic approach. We’re tenacious, independently-minded problem solvers, and we work hard to be at the forefront of innovation, sustainability, diversity and effectiveness in everything we do.

Work with us

Being friendly and down-to-earth has always been crucial for us. We’ve consistently been rated by The Sunday Times, Property Week and Estates Gazette as a ‘best place to work’, and our employee-owned structure proves that we really do put our people first.

Day to day you’ll get to experience and test yourself on a great variety of challenges, with support, encouragement and learning all the way. And you’ll find we take care of you in a whole range of ways that make Hollis a healthy and happy place to work.

So what makes you different? And what role will you play in a fast-changing world? If you have the right qualities, we want to hear from you.
