Holliday Fielding Hocking Ltd

Holliday Fielding Hocking is a family run business based in Leeds. We are a fume cupboard dynasty going back over 50 years with both 3rd and 4th generation Holliday’s working for the company. Rather than mass producing or providing glossy brochures, we pride ourselves on giving a one to one personal service. Preferring to liaise direct with our prestigious clients to tailor the product however small to their needs.

If your equipment is beyond repair or you prefer the new option, we have the facilities to safely remove and dispose of this item. If funds do not allow for a new replacement system we have many refurbished cupboards in stock.

We provide an extensive range of laboratory fume cupboards, extraction equipment and laboratory furniture.

We strive to continually develop and improve our products, incorporating modern materials and design concepts to increase both function and longevity of all products in our range.

Our service and maintenance and installation team travels the length and breadth of the UK and we are only a phone call away.
