Thorns gets ‘black to basics’ at Venues & Events!

Thorns Group is reinforcing its position as the UK’s leading furniture and catering equipment hire specialist by making an eye-catching contribution to this year’s Venues & Events exhibition.

The group, which is constantly adding new ranges to an existing portfolio of more than a million individual items, will use its stand – located at M1 – to unveil a bold theme of black and yellow. Individual exhibits will include the group’s extremely popular Atlantis illuminated bar, which for Venues & Events will be coloured black but with stunning yellow lighting.

Proving that black really is the new black, Thorns will also be displaying a selection of black high-backed chairs, complete with black seat pads, its stunning range of black Champagne flutes, black square dining plates and matching china and cutlery.

Thorns is also acting as official supplier to the gathering – taking place at Old Billingsgate in the heart of London on September 23 and 24.

This means the group's equipment will feature across the show venue, including in public dining facilities, seating areas, media centre and sales offices. Items from Thorns also feature in the stand packages offered to the hundreds of exhibitors.

In contrast to the sophisticated black and yellow theme on its own stand, Thorns' contribution to other show areas will offer an explosion of colour – including a selection of items from its ever-popular Vision range of furniture which are being provided in the distinctive blue-green corporate colour of the event.

Adam Aston, Thorns Group's Director of Exhibitions, said: "Thorns is enjoying a high-profile involvement in Venues & Events. Having been supplying to the show throughout its five-year history, the group is able to use the 2009 gathering to demonstrate the diverse range of its equipment – from sleek, black Champagne flutes to funky blue items from its distinctive Vision range."
