Thorns makes a dazzling impression at Event UK

Furniture and catering equipment hire specialist Thorns Group is providing colour and glitz as official supplier to this year’s Event UK.

The company's distinctive stock is set to make a big impression at Birmingham’s NEC, which plays host to the bustling event on September 22 and 23 as part of National Meetings Week.

Its furniture is being featured at exhibitor and public areas across the show site, while some of the very latest items from Thorns’ huge stock of equipment will be on show at the group’s own trade stand – number D702 – during the two-day event.

Adam Aston, Thorns Group’s Director of Exhibitions, said: “It's great to be playing such a key role at Event UK, which enables Thorns Group to demonstrate the truly diverse range of its furniture and catering equipment."

Thorns’ own stand at Event UK will boast bold theming – thanks to a dazzling blend of black and red. Items on display will include black, high-backed chairs with stylish red seat pads, complemented by the group’s stunning, colourful Rhapsody glassware range, red square plates and matching china and cutlery.

However, the centrepiece of the stand will undoubtedly prove to be Thorns’ highly versatile, illuminated Atlantis bar, which for Event UK will be coloured black but with dazzling red lighting.

The eye-catching products all come from the group’s ever-expanding portfolio of furniture and catering equipment, which is held at bases in London, Birmingham and Manchester – and which now totals more than a million individual items.

Adam Aston added: "From eye-catching coloured glassware to versatile exhibition furniture to Thorns' distinctive bar ranges, we welcome the opportunity to show visitors to Event UK the huge impact that innovative hire equipment can have on any event.
