Spaceworks and Well Dressed Tables supported the Royal Horticultural Halls, creating a bespoke interior setting at the venue showcase event in London.

As the venue’s preferred supplier for furniture, the interiors specialists helped to create a memorable experience for guests within the stunning backdrop of the iconic Lindley Hall.  The event’s central theme of mystical mayhem ensued, as the evening’s entertainment included an array of magical tricks, aerial trapeze artists, manicurists, card tricks, indulgent street food canapés and cocktails. 

Spaceworks was required to capture the theme of the showcase in line with the organiser’s ambitions to emphasise the flexibility of the venue and the diverse range of events it can cater for.  A neutral colour scheme was implemented to emphasise the venues in-house lighting capabilities, which was a key element of the evening’s entertainment. 

Kelly Baker, sales director at Spaceworks and Well Dressed Tables, said:  “The Chesterfield range of sofas and armchairs are a perfect combination of comfort and style; we used these alongside white and black bubble footstools, white poseur tables and white button stools. 

“In line with the event’s theme we supplemented these classic ranges with an unusual finishing touch. LED furniture is one of the upcoming trends in 2014 and we installed a bar with pink LED lights that took centre stage at the showcase.

“Well Dressed Tables supported the event caterer Richmond with crockery, cutlery and glassware that best complemented its creative street food themed menu. They required funky and versatile products to serve up drinks, desserts and appetisers; this included the new Winged bowls and Cubix glassware range.”

Natalie Searle, marketing and projects manager at Royal Horticultural Halls, said:  “Spaceworks helped capture the atmosphere perfectly and Kelly was instrumental in delivering such a successful showcase of the venue. From initial meetings it was clear that Kelly was able to visualise our ambitions. She worked closely with us to choose a colour scheme and she suggested furniture that best suited our theme and budget.  The smooth installation and collection of furniture at the event was commendable.”

SpaceWorks and Well Dressed Tables – part of the Arena Group – has been awarded accreditation from safecontractor for its commitment to achieving excellence in health and safety, June 2013.

Safecontractor is a third party accreditation scheme which recognises high standards in health and safety management amongst UK contractors.

Employing over 60 people, Well Dressed Tables and Spaceworks Furniture Hire is principally involved in the major events industry.  Specialising in the hospitality and events industries, clients include Table Talk, Blue Strawberry, The Recipe, Goodwood, Lawn Tennis Association, IMG, British Racing Drivers Club, and Aintree Racecourse.

The company’s application for safecontractor accreditation was driven by the need for a uniform standard across the business.

Christopher Piggott, managing director said: “We’re proud to be recognised as one of the growing number of businesses in our industry that take health and safety very seriously. We take great measures to ensure all of the relevant procedures are adhered to in order to keep our staff safe.”

Under the safecontractor scheme, businesses undergo a vetting process which examines health and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice. Those companies meeting the high standard are included on a database, which is accessible to registered users only via a website. 

John Kinge, technical director of safecontractor said, “Major organisations simply cannot afford to run the risk of employing contractors who are not able to prove that they have sound health and safety policies in place.” 

safecontractor plays a vital role in supporting our clients in meeting their compliance needs, whilst working with their contractors as they progress through the accreditation process.
