Alu-Lite Tables Whether you host meetings or banquets, with or without linen, have large rooms or small, Forbes Group will have a table to meet your needs.

Chairs Your choice of chair can alter the whole atmosphere of a room, but beyond looks, to keep your guests comfortable (and happy). Options include lumbar support, moulded seats and a choice of frame design and upholstery. Chair choices include: • stacking chairs, stack to 10-high and your staff may be glad to know that our ‘all day’ chair weighs only 5kg thanks to its aluminium frame. • designer chairs, if yours is a more design-led contemporary setting you may like to explore our range of steel, chrome, wood and leather chairs, some with writing tablets or castors.

Fabrics Relax, you are in safe hands – we brought washable sueded meeting-table cloths to the UK decades ago when our founder learned how much hotels were spending on baize (that had to be thrown away when it was marked). There’s nothing standard here. Every cloth, cover or skirting is tailor made for you so it fits and falls to precisely the right level. Our sales team will measure up and help you choose the right fabric for your situation. Your rooms benefit from fabrics. They bring style, warmth, colour, pattern, subtle branding and an improved acoustic. At Forbes Group we’ve selected...

Table Covers Table covers perform a variety of functions. In some cases they are for people to sit at and dine, in others they display drinks or food, or again they may have to call delegates to sign-in. Whatever your situation, a Forbes Group table cover will help your staff set up a room with maximum efficiency and consistency. In close collaboration with venues over decades, we have developed products for these situations, each made with the same attention to your priorities, being time-saving, and easy to wash, in finishes both traditional and contemporary. All our table covers are made...

Conference Cloths Corporate custom is important to many venues and for this a professional appearance is essential. Forbes Group conference cloths are cut from a choice of sueded fabrics to fit your tables, whether you like your staff to box the cloths, prefer cloths that throw over, or want fitted drop covers. We can make them to most shapes and apply logos if required. Like all our fabrics, conference cloth is fully washable, hardwearing and non-iron. We can also supply blotters, banner cloths and conference room accessories such as flip-chart covers. All of our cloths will be made to...

Stretch Covers There may be occasions when you need a more contemporary look, whether for a buffet set-up, conference reception table, or to freshen up a meeting room. Our stretch fabric covers can help here, being made to measure to fit your table top and pull taut under the feet, creating a clean, sculpted outline. The secret of our Silcra stretch covers is the high Lycra content (20%) meaning that they retain their shape, plus we incorporate double seams for extra strength. They are available in a kaleidoscope of colours (why not combine colours in a single cocktail table cover?) and are...
