Our Services

  • If there is something you are looking for but can’t find we will go out of our way to find it for you. We would love to discuss your project - either over the phone or we can arrange a meeting. Whatever is more convenient for you.

  • We can arrange samples to be sent to you - usually at no extra cost and we can organise showroom visits to some of our suppliers. If it is a small machine you are after we can arrange a demo.

  • We will put together a quote for you, having checked stock levels and lead times so you are not left disappointed when it comes to ordering.

    We work with a lot of manufacturers in the UK and Europe and can often offer good alternatives to overpriced market dominators. We know budgets are tight and constantly strive to find you the best prices.

  • We offer an additional badging service if required. This is possible on most glasses and crockery and in some cases cutlery. We will oversee the manufacture of anything personalised or bespoke.

  • We understand sites are not usually ready until the last minute and deadlines are unpredictable so we collate and store your order until you are ready to receive it.
