Landing a spot on the Fit Out Power List 2025

“Our ownership structure has allowed KPS to invest in leading-edge technology and training, and to use this technology-led approach to construction to innovate new ways of doing things.” – Stephen Taylor

Stephen Taylor, our UAE Managing Director, has been named in Design Middle East’s Fit Out Power List 2025, a roll call of the region’s most influential interior construction leaders.

With over thirty years in the industry and more than twenty million square feet delivered, KPS has cemented its place as one of the Middle East’s go-to interior contractors. From high-end offices and hospitality destinations to healthcare, education, and luxury residential projects, every space we deliver blends design precision with cutting-edge technology.

Since taking the helm in 2022, Stephen has steered KPS into a new era, expanding into fresh sectors, strengthening our in-house capabilities, and pushing innovation harder than ever. Our vertically integrated model gives clients full control when they want it, and flexibility when they don’t.

This drive has fuelled the rapid growth of Mart®, our independent furniture arm, now featuring more than 50,000 contract-grade products, transparent pricing, and AI-powered recommendations for designers and procurers. It has also powered the expansion of Kunskap, our learning and development platform that supports continuous upskilling for over 500 employees.

With regional reach, dedicated production facilities, and an annual turnover topping US$150 million, KPS thrives on high-volume, high-complexity delivery while maintaining the agility and attention to detail that clients expect. The road ahead is set for more LEED-certified projects, smarter AI-driven procurement, greater regional expansion, and, as always, delivering the projects others say can’t be done.
