Furniture, Fabrics and Equipmentfor conference and banqueting

Working with hospitality professionals, we understand the importance of delivering outstanding products and customer service.

For over 30 years, Forbes Group Ltd has been a leading supplier to hotels

and conference centres, companies and sporting venues worldwide. Our

products, including banqueting tables and chairs, lecterns and staging, table

skirting, conference cloth and chair covers, are selected for their appearance,

practicality, strength and environmental performance.

Not only do our products appear flawless front of house, they also help

venues behind the scenes. Our tables have a specially-designed leg-folding

system for efficiency and safety in set-up, cocktail tables nestle for efficient

storage, and seminar tables have tops made from recycled hollow core

cardboard. Forbes Fabrics shrug off marks, are machine-washable and one

(EcoFab) is even made from recycled plastic bottles.

Forbes Group Ltd is a company that is small enough to listen to and respond

to your individual requirements, but with experience great enough to be

trusted by some of the most prestigious names in the industry.

EcoFab A more environmentally-friendly fabric

Our latest addition EcoFab is a ground-breaking polyester fabric made from 100% recycled plastic bottles. As such, it has a double benefit for the environment: it requires up to 53% less energy to produce than virgin polyester, and it keeps plastic water bottles out of landfill.

In addition, EcoFab is highly practical in the hospitality environment. It has demonstrated impressive crease resistance (especially useful for chair covers, and for storing table skirting), repels stains and is machine washable.
