introduction
The art of deception
For over twenty five years our skilled designers and
craftsmen have produced decorative fibreglass plant
containers that even the keenest eye cannot
distinguish from the original materials.
Why fibreglass and resin?
A wonderfully tough and versatile material,
fibreglass is maintenance free and light in weight.
Completely frost-proof and non-corrosive, it is
superior to terracotta, stone and even some metals
and is ideal for use inside and out.
Authentic finishes
Weathered bronze, terracotta, lead, aluminium,
copper, stone and even rust. Our finishes are so
authentic, and long lasting, that we have had
planters in some of the world’s most prestigious
homes, gardens, hotels and public buildings for well
over a quarter of a century. Even their owners have
forgotten they are made of fibreglass.
The real thing
We can also make planters in real lead, using
traditional sand cast methods to produce products
of extra style and quality. More recently, we have
begun to use wood and metal... so that now we can
make planters out of any material (except terracotta
or stone).
Working to a brief
From your plans or drawings we can reproduce any
design in any size or quantity, from one to one
thousand and more. Alternatively, we can aid you at
the design stage, so you can achieve the results you
desire. These bespoke projects now represent a
quarter of our work (see page 63 for more details).
Get in touch
Customers’ queries are always welcome and dealt
with as quickly as possible. Our website has news of
new developments, permanent showrooms and
forthcoming exhibitions around the world.

None of our finishes are painted
surfaces therefore they cannot
chip or flake off revealing a
different colour below. All the
ingredients and colours are
included in the original mix and
the colour goes all the way
through.
As an ongoing process we are
creating new and ‘special’
finishes to order.
Colours may vary due to the
nature of our hand finishing and
the photographic process.

Realising your ideas
Our growing reputation for producing the very best
tailor-made designs and solutions means that you
can be confident that we will get your space looking
as good as possible... on budget and on time.
Whether your project is a compact roof garden or an
extensive public area, we can either interpret your
ideas or follow your detailed plans precisely.
Our experienced team of designers and craftsmen
can work in fibreglass or, should you require, wood,
aluminium, stainless steel, mild steel or even cast in
real lead at our specialist foundry.
Interiors too
Many of our projects are for interior spaces, where
fibreglass is a great material as it offers huge
flexibility. Its potential range of sizes, colours and
finishes make it a designer’s dream.
Bespoke sizes and finishes
Some of our clients customise our existing designs
for their specific requirements. Scaling up a planter
to a huge size (practically impossible in many
traditional materials) and giving it one of our
special finishes can add instant drama to your
design.
Many gardens and buildings worldwide benefit
from our bespoke products. They include:
County Hall London
Whitbread Brewery City of London
Savoy Hotel London
Lanesborough Hotel London
Imax Cinema London
The Lowry Hotel Manchester

False floors
A useful addition to many of our planters is our
ability to add a false floor at any level so that the
planting depth can be reduced. Superb for flower
arranging, exhibitions and temporary displays (we
use them at all our exhibitions). Specify your
requirements or speak with our team of experts.
Feet
Some of our planters come with
integral feet, some do not. If
you would like additional
feet added to help
drainage or just for the
aesthetics, we can do this with
our hidden matching feet.
Pallet bases
We can raise or insert bases into our larger planters
to enable them to be moved easily by forklift or by
pallet truck.
Taps
Brass taps can be fitted to all
tanks and planters to facilitate
their use as an attractive water
storage solution. Handy in summer when water is in
short supply.
Adaptations... made to order
• Lids for troughs and water tanks (Europe only)
• Matching Geometric trash bins • Drip trays for all
planters • Screens • Ashtrays • Felt feet and rubber
mats available to protect floors or carpets

Hidden wheels
Concealed within the base, they are a very useful
addition to larger planters. They enable tender
plants to be moved
easily. They facilitate
cleaning and provide
an option for moveable
living screens in any
setting. We supply a
variety of wheels (with or without brakes) and offer
a bespoke solution for any situation.
Lighting
Working closely with a number of leading outdoor
lighting manufacturers, we can fit lights to most of
our planters to light the way or just to enhance the
evening ambience.
