UK event supplier Thorns Group is celebrating its 60th anniversary with a record-breaking year that has seen it supply furniture and equipment to 1,500 events and 2,200 exhibitors.

The company has supplied equipment to events including the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, Royal Ascot, Twickenham Rugby and the British F1 Grand Prix. It also regularly supplies venues including London’s Olympia and Excel, Birmingham’s NEC and ICC and Manchester Central.

Throughout the past year, Thorns has hired out around 180,000 banqueting chairs, as well as 63,000 conference chairs, 350,000 champagne flutes and 10,000 pieces of bespoke furniture.

“I am delighted that we have been able to make Thorns Group a success story despite difficult economic times,” says MD, Graham Langley-Jones. “The recession has naturally had an effect on the events and exhibitions industry but we have introduced more streamlined and value-for-money services, for instance the introduction of Classic Drapes, and adapted to our clients changing needs.

“We’ve covered a record number of events in our Diamond Jubilee year and I hope to see even further growth and demand for our equipment and services in the future,” he adds.
