Jamie Valente is now Project Director at BECK. His long career in the industry has seen him take on a variety of roles, in companies of all different sizes.
Having recently overseen a high-end residential project in London’s Park Lane, he is now based at @thedorchester for Phase two of our fit-out works.
In a new interview, Jamie discusses his career path, greatest achievements, and plans for his new role.

We are thrilled to have been selected as the fit-out contractor for ‘Guinness at Old Brewer’s Yard’, which will see the BECK team create a new microbrewery and culture hub for @diageo in London’s Covent Garden.
The project will cover five locations and include a world-leading microbrewery, event spaces, seven bars, VIP private bars and tasting rooms, dining spaces, a Guinness retail space, a 360-degree cinema, and a covered courtyard.
Dan Herron (@danherron72), Group Managing Director at BECK says: "We are delighted to be working with Diageo on this remarkable project, bringing an extraordinary hospitality experience to the heart of Covent Garden.

This time last year saw the grand opening of @chimneylift109 at @batterseapwrstn in London, which has given visitors the opportunity to view the city from 109 metres above sea level, with an epic 360-degree view.
We’re proud to mark the one-year milestone and recognise our incredible team who poured their dedication and expertise into making the project a reality. Being part of the transformation of the iconic power station is an honour for BECK. We`re delighted to have contributed to Battersea Power Station`s legacy and bring a new dimension to its historic architecture.
A key aspect of the many projects we undertake involves carefully selected artwork and the creation of gallery spaces.
Significant planning and design considerations are always undertaken to support our client`s specific needs, whether supporting large format pieces of art, hanging bespoke chandeliers, or creating entire galleries.
Today we look back at @rosewoodlondon, @thecarltontowerjumeirah, @ottinghacastle, @belmondcagodan and @thenomadhotel where art and gallery spaces were at the very core of the designs.
Link in bio for the full article on our website.
@chimneylift109 at @atterseapwrstn has won a @reddotdesignaward for Exhibition Design, in the category of Brands & Communication Design.
The historic Power Station reopened almost one year ago, after a decade-long renovation project that transformed it from a disused power station to a new community of shops, restaurants, entertainment venues, offices, a visitor experience, homes, and green spaces.
BECK was the principal contractor for the fit-out of the Lift 109 visitor experience and worked with designers @ralph_appelbaum_associates and @fraserrandallltd to create an interactive media experience and a beautiful, curated shop for Battersea’s incredible glass elevator, which journeys 109 meters above sea level, to the top of the Northwest chimney.
The nights are drawing in as we inch towards the clocks going back at the end of October. Many of our hospitality projects include beautiful eateries and cosy bars for catching up with friends and colleagues as the winter months approach.
One of our favourites has to be Scarfe’s Bar at @rosewoodlondon in the heart of London. Warm nights by the fire in cozy nooks, with signature cocktails created by their talented mixologists.
As part of our renovations at Rosewood London, the BECK team hand-matched original stonework, cast the fireplace in bronze, and created bespoke joinery for the floor-to-ceiling bookcases which give @scarfesbar the warm ambiance of being welcomed home.
Last week, the BECK team working at the new Showtown museum in Blackpool set aside their tools temporarily to collaborate with @envecoblackpool and @bpoolcouncil in a coastal cleanup initiative.
At BECK, we are dedicated to upholding social values and enhancing the well-being of our local communities, through every project we embark upon.
The beach clean effort is just one component of our broader objectives to enhance opportunities for the local community. Please watch this space for more updates on these initiatives, in the near future.
After four years at BECK, Dan Smith became Surveying Director earlier this year.
Dan’s long and successful career path through the fit-out and construction industry has seen him work on prestigious projects across a variety of sectors.
In a new interview, he discusses his career to date, the type of manager he aspires to be, and the changes to our commercial procedures and processes that he is looking to achieve in his new role.

We are proud to have sponsored this year’s @simpsoncup, which pits injured service members and veterans from Great Britain and the USA against each other, in a Ryder Cup-style golf tournament.
The Cup raises funds and awareness for On Course Foundation, a charitable organisation that helps injured, sick or wounded veterans rebuild their lives through golf coaching, work experience, and jobs in the golf industry.
On Monday, @danherron72 Group Managing Director and @michael.j.walsh, Pre-Construction Director, participated in the player/sponsorship competition before the tournament commenced on Tuesday.
After a tense two days of four-ball and singles matches, the proceedings were rounded off yesterday afternoon, with the Cup presented to the winning team.
This year, Great Britain was delighted to be named as the deserving winner at the closing ceremony, after staging an incredible comeback to retain the Simpson Cup again this year.

@thenomadhotel has been named one of the world’s 50 best hotels in 2023.
Following the success of The World’s 50 Best Restaurants and The World’s 50 Best Bars, @theworlds50best announced ‘The World’s 50 Best Hotels in 2023’, marking the brand’s first global launch since 2009.
Hotels worldwide were eligible for votes and did not have to fit any criteria for consideration. Half of the winning properties were based in Europe with just four London hotels making the list.
The BECK team transformed the former Bow Street Magistrates Court and Police Station into NoMad’s first location outside the US, restoring stunning historic architecture while adding beautifully designed modern amenities.
Cultural Innovations and BECK have been selected as the designer and fit-out contractor for the Welcome Center renovation project at the prestigious King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (@kaustofficial) along the Red Sea in Saudi Arabia.
BECK and @culturalinnovations have a long and successful history of working together. They reunite once again for this new Design & Build project which will see the existing Welcome Center transform into a captivating space for VIP guests, faculty members, students, and much more.
Chris Lawrenson, Board Director says: “This marks the start of a long and healthy partnership with KAUST, which begins with the realisation of their Welcome Center alongside Cultural Innovations.”

Today we at BECK are celebrating in anticipation of tomorrow’s Saudi National Day 2023!
This year’s theme is “We dream and achieve” which works in harmony with BECK’s mantra to DREAM CREATE BUILD.
We are proud to have had a presence in Saudi since 2011 with the opening of our first KSA office in Riyadh. However, our first project was undertaken in 2008 for the King Faisal Exhibition and we have embraced our role in assisting the growth of KSA.
We continue to look forward to further developing our vast portfolio of museums and cultural experiences in the years to come.

We’re thrilled that The Artist’s Bar at world-famous hotel, @thedorchester, has been shortlisted in the 2023 @ahead_awards for Europe, in the category of ‘Bar, Club or Lounge’
Working in close collaboration with @reardonsmith_architects, @pyrdesign Design, @gt_llp, PSH and @hlngroup, the BECK team successfully completed the recent fit-out of the front-of-house areas, external forecourt, and guestrooms on the first two levels of The Dorchester Hotel, on London’s exclusive Park Lane.
Designed by Pierre-Yves Rochon, The Artist’s Bar is the highlight of ‘The Promenade’, an elegant lounge for afternoon tea and cocktails. The ornate, curved seating bar was created entirely within the BECK workshop, then hand-painted in gold leaf and adorned with crystals procured from Lalique. A granite bar top was sourced from Italy and the back bar features a gold leaf centre panel with back-lit, glass panels from Lalique on either side.
The winner will be announced at the AHEAD Europe ceremony at @evolution_ldn on Friday 17th November.
Join us on a virtual journey, to London`s exquisite @thenomadhotel, where we dive deep into a case study of the fit-out project by the BECK team.
Working in close collaboration with the @sydellgroup and @eprarchitects, we undertook a full restoration of the Grade II-listed building.
The transformation of a historic listed building into a luxury hotel, faced significant challenges to create additional space within the existing footprint.
Formerly the Bow Street Magistrates Court and Police Station, the building now houses the first NoMad hotel outside of the US. From stunning architecture to beautifully designed amenities, NoMad London showcases a perfect blend of timeless charm and modern sophistication.
Link in bio for the full case study on our website.
The team is hard at work in Blackpool, on the fit-out works for Showtown, which will house permanent displays on circus shows, magic, illuminations, dance, and the seaside.
We’re excited that the opening date for the museum has now been announced as Friday 15th March 2024, with tickets going on sale this Autumn.
Showtown will celebrate Blackpool’s entertainment heritage with displays, films, and family activities, mixing the best aspects of museums and visitor attractions.
Experience is priceless. Over the last three decades, our team has encountered every possible complication, setback, or issue that can arise on a construction or fit-out project.
We have converted heritage properties while working around the limitations of grade listings, preserved original features before they are lost to the annals of history, and employed our highly talented Design Development team to make our client`s plans become a reality.
We have worked to incredibly tight programmes, coordinated extensive supply chains, and negotiated complex logistics. Transformed hotels while they continue to operate around our works, created beautiful new galleries in some of the most prestigious and logistically challenging museum projects around the world and helped our clients to achieve the finish they want on the budgets they have.
It all adds up to being a safe pair of hands for the clients we work with, some of whom return to us again and again.
We’re honoured to have been entrusted with refurbishing @the_lanesborough twice. One of the city’s most expensive & exclusive hotels, it has even featured in a @bbctwo series, Amazing Hotels: Life Behind The Lobby. Step foot inside and you are transported to a world of grandeur and extravagance.
Two decades after the team first worked at the hotel, we returned to restore and refurbish the marble flooring, marquetry panelling and bespoke joinery we had initially installed ourselves. Deep brown mahogany panels & doors were stripped to reveal lighter mid-tones.
Over 42,000 sheets of 23-carat gold leaf were used to decorate the ceilings, which were created from over 500 bespoke moulds to ensure no two ceilings were the same.
We concealed all A/C grills & access panels, with services & technology hidden also hidden within timber wall panelling & the bespoke fibrous plaster ceiling, to ensure the stunning Regency design remained undisturbed.
Attention to detail combined with opulent interiors, really creates a space of true luxury. Our project teams have an unwavering dedication to precision and a meticulous eye for detail.
At BECK we have a history of breathing new life into London’s historic, architectural treasures. Transforming enchanting period properties into a haven of luxury and comfort in the city.
At @thenomadhotel London, we took the beautiful but derelict former Bow Street Magistrates Court and Police Station and converted it into a multi award winning, luxurious, five story hotel in the heart of Covent Garden.
The project team worked hard to retain the Grade II listed facades of the building and existing period features within. The talented team in our joinery workshop built bespoke cabinets for the library and multiple bars for the hotel’s various food and beverage offerings.
The magic of history and luxury entwine on our historic projects as the team embark on each journey to preserve the past, while creating timeless elegance and contemporary comfort.
Collaboration knows no boundaries! Our team has worked on prestigious museum and exhibition projects for our clients across the world. From Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai to Brunei, Taiwan, and London.
Magic happens when great minds from different corners of the globe unite. We approach every project with a fresh perspective, innovative ideas, and a diverse range of experience to create something extraordinary.
At the International Wetland Park in Hong Kong (@hk.wetlandpark), we created the world’s first indoor mangrove, with trees transplanted straight from the rainforest (pictured).
For the National Museum of Natural Science in Taiwan (@nmnstw), we used a combination of local and international contractors, to meticulously plan and deliver the All Living Things On Earth exhibition, recreating highly detailed dioramas for use in educational study.
At the Museum of Brunei History and Culture we closely collaborated with a consortium of experts to achieve the successful delivery of nine galleries within a 3000sqm space!
Finally, in Egypt the BECK team are currently hard at work putting the finishing touches to the @grandegyptianmuseum which opens later this year.
We are pleased to have progressed into full contract with Preston City Council (@visitpreston) for the historic @harris_museum, art gallery, and Library. The team now officially moves forward with the detailed design of new displays, library shelving, exhibition displays, and the interior design of 18 galleries.
The project aims to protect and preserve the Grade I listed building for future generations. Deliverables include bespoke integrated setworks, library shelving, audio-visual hardware, interactives, exhibition lighting, graphics, retail, and café area packages.
We will collaborate with Click Netherfield to ensure the design is fully coordinated for their Showcases. Plus, also work with RAA designers and the client team to finalise buildability detail and progress into full design development and manufacture. The team looks forward to commencing works on site in Preston in Quarter 1, 2024!
