The acquisition of W & C Scott Gunmakers in 1985 produced some very high quality Holland & Holland boxlock guns but, more importantly, lead to the development of two models of over-and-under shotgun. Following the sale of the company to the Chanel group in 1989, all gun production was consolidated at the historic London factory following an extensive building and equipment investment programme. Nowadays the company gunmaking facilities exhibit the most modern computer-aided design and component machining facilities to be found at any comparable Best London gun factory, allied to those traditional gunmaking bench skills which Henry Holland demanded of his workforce one hundred years ago.

More recently, the company has extended its interests with the opening of a sporting agency offering the best shooting and hunting programmes in Europe, Africa and South America, and the development of an international non-shooting luxury travel business where the camera rules rather than gun or rifle.

Shooting clothing was first offered to customers at 33 Bruton Street in the early 1980's, some twenty years after the company moved from New Bond Street. The clothing range has been branded and expanded under Chanel ownership and a wide selection of luxury accessories is sold from the flagship retailing premises in London and similar premises in Paris and New York.

The company values its Royal patronage - the Royal Arms of HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, whose Warrant of Appointment as Rifle Maker was granted in 1963, and those of HRH The Prince of Wales, whose Warrant of Appointment as Bespoke Gunmaker and Supplier of Country Clothing has been proudly carried since 1995. We think that Harris and Henry would been proud of this too, as well as of the way in which their standards and name are being upheld into the 21st Century.
