About Us

OUR HISTORY & FACTS

Mitre Interior Services is a specialist contractor focused on delivering interior packages with consistency, control, and technical expertise. Working alongside main contractors, we prioritise core disciplines where we add the most value, ensuring reliable outcomes across every project.

Our approach is built on direct delivery, experienced leadership, and a clear understanding of complex London schemes. We are not a generalist contractor, we focus on doing fewer things better, maintaining quality, programme, and commercial certainty from start to finish.

THE COMPANY

What Mitre Interior Services is

“Let’s be clear, we know our place – we are a high-calibre specialist subcontractor”

Where it sits in the market

We will be competitive, although we don’t always expect to be the cheapest, our advantage is that we do expect to deliver ‘best value’ – ‘Speed’, ‘Value’, ‘Quality’.

“Specialist, focused, self-delivered” positioning

The Mitre project delivery team is long established with our leadership; sharing our values, they know what we expect and what our Main Contractor partners and their clients, and their professional team, require – ‘the best that can be achieved’, not ‘the least we can get away with’ – we’ve been through a lot together; there have been falling outs and making ups, but the team we have now gets what we are about.

LEADERSHIP

Phil Meyler – Founder, Visionary, Operational Lead

Phil cares; he’s been through too much not to. So, he created, and is driving, an innovative business that will do different things and do things differently – better, of course, but pragmatic – a view annealed by experience; nonetheless, with bundles of enthusiasm.

You have to admire his resilience.

Biography

Phil is a highly experienced construction professional proven through leading delivery of a wide range of major developments, many in London, deploying deep practical knowledge and a strong understanding of complex building projects.

His successful track record includes Commercial or Operational Lead for several landmark schemes, notably The Shard and One Churchill Place.

With decades of hands-on industry involvement, Phil is known for his high competence, reliability, technical insight, and ability to support large-scale projects from concept, on to construction, through to completion.

Phil has designed Mitre Interior Services to address many of the shortcomings he experienced from various supply partners, and to integrate ‘best in class’, and ‘best practice’ into the Mitre ethos.

The Vision: To quickly become supply side allies to a modest portfolio of highly appropriate Main Contractors, highly competent in the delivery of quality space to commercial office, mixed-use and relevant ‘other’ sectors (such as Listed Buildings and High-End Residential).

Lauren Meyler – Executive/Corporate Lead

Lauren has exceptional oversight for how business needs to be for the modern context – she keeps us straight and true – resistant to the temptation to chase turnover at all costs, laser focused on being different and better and sharper – aspirational for our business and for our partners and their clients.

Biography

When Phil decided to create and launch Mitre Interior Services, Lauren led the process to ensure protocols, systems and procedures were in place that enabled excellence of service.

An entrepreneur in her own right, her perspective from a non-construction point of view was used to build the ‘fresh thinking’ approach – better, different, novel.

Phil and the team concentrate on winning and delivering the projects, and Lauren uses her business acumen to focus on running the Mitre Interior Services business aligned to our customers’ needs.

She is used to the fickle demands of clients choosing and using highly competitive retail businesses, as well as not conforming to the ‘male, pale and stale’ conventional approach in construction.

Lauren pro-actively ensures our accreditations are maintained, our fiscal and financial processes are robust and that we remain compliant at all times, internally and externally in site operational activities.

Stewart Owen – Pre-Construction and Commercial Lead

Stewart brings a perspective honed by the frustration of seeing contractors promise ‘special’ but deliver ‘ordinary’. Faster, better should, and can be more cost effective – ‘Speed’, ‘Quality’, ‘Value’

He ensures that the understanding of the project drivers and promises made, carry through from the initial conversations to the enquiry, bidding, appointment, delivery, PC and post completion phases

He’s worked out that once you secure a relationship, it’s far better to keep it than to try to win a replacement – obvious, really – how come the industry knows this but disregards it? A puzzle for the years

Biography

Stewart has led many office fit out and refurbishment projects from initial relationship through pre-construction, construction phase interventions and leadership, achievement of PC, post completion defects close out and, challengingly, Construction Dispute Resolution.
