Thorns Group is the leading independent provider of furniture, equipment and expertise to the UK's events, exhibitions and conference markets - and a proud supplier to countless smaller-scale gatherings such as weddings, private parties and family celebrations.
The award-winning group - operating from bases in London, Birmingham and Manchester - offers the chance to hire from a huge selection of equipment, ranging from tables, chairs, china and cutlery to linens, specialist flooring, designer floral arrangements and plasma screens.
But despite holding a stock that already totals more than a million individual items, we continue to broaden and diversify our portfolio of products all the time. Whether adding new ranges of garden equipment, the very latest in glassware or stunning bar furniture, we invest heavily to ensure customers have the greatest choice - and the latest styles to select from.
Thorns' ability to offer the broadest choice is enhanced further by its in-house workshop and upholstery shop, enabling us to offer a bespoke service, for example by creating furniture and fabrics that match customers' specific theming or colour schemes.
Our equipment is stored in temperature-controlled warehouses, with additional features that include state-of-the-art dishwashing and furniture cleaning facilities, as well as an eco-friendly paint shop complete with environmentally friendly water wash spray booths. We have also invested in new fleets of vehicles and the very latest computer systems, to ensure the most efficient delivery and collection of orders.
But Thorns' success is thanks to much more than its furniture, equipment and market-leading facilities. The group also prides itself on its team - comprising the most talented, experienced and helpful individuals within the industry.
Our friendly service - backed by our unrivalled levels of expertise - means we really are second to none. Whether dealing with a large contract caterer, a high-profile venue or a private individual, we believe in being the best.
For more than 50 years Thorns' reputation has been built on offering quality, service and reliability - and all at the right price.
We operate through three divisions - Thorns Furniture and Catering Hire, which has been a leading supplier of furniture and catering equipment since the 1950s; Camden Exhibition Services, which supplies a full range of furniture plus other equipment and services to the exhibitions market; and Classic Technical Services, which is a market-leading supplier of electrical, audio-visual and specialist lighting services.
Thorns Group tackles assignments at many of the UK's best-known venues including London's ExCeL, Olympia and Earls Court, Manchester Central and Birmingham's NEC and ICC. Our furniture and equipment has featured at glitzy parties and celebrations, at high-profile dinners and award ceremonies, and on many occasions in films and on television.
We have also supported many of the highlights of the annual sporting and hospitality calendar, such as the Henley Royal Regatta, Six-Nations Rugby, Open Golf Championship and Wimbledon Tennis Championships... as well as hundreds of high-profile events and exhibitions across the country.
