OUR PROJECTS
Following the success of their venue in a neighbouring village, private owners purchased the business with a vision to turn it into a high-quality dining destination in the heart of the country.
When the Old Flower Shop was purchased in 2022, the new owners had plans to transform it into one of Nottingham’s best bars. The rustic industrial feel that previously existed ensured sports fans felt at home on game days and nights, but there was a feeling there was much more potential to tap in to. Having enjoyed success in the area before, the management team wanted to emulate the look and feel of their past venues, knowing they had a winning formula that would have loyal customers flooding back in no time.
The Old Vol has been at the heart of the rural community of Caythorpe for many years. But like many traditional English pubs outside the city centres, it seemed to be stuck in a cycle of new owners and regular reinventions – non notably more successful than the last. Sensing a potential downturn, a local private owner purchased the charming establishment in 2022 with the aim of ensuring its future by creating a great pub serving high quality cuisine in his area.
The Great Himalayas is a high-quality restaurant & bar in Southport. It prides itself on serving guests authentic Nepalese cuisine that’s full of flavour and colour with special ingredients, spices and herbs sourced from the South Asian region. As a busy seaside eatery, the venues furniture is in regular use, and in late 2022 the red faux leather high back side chairs with light wood legs had clearly seen better days.
Once the owners had decided it was time to refresh the décor to ensure it was as vibrant as their food’s flavour, they contacted us to see which models we could offer to match their existing interior design theme with a short lead time.
Yorkshire born and bred, The Larder Club creator Laura Gallery is in love with local produce, and also the great coffee and fantastic food of Italy. Laura believes there is something very special about the stunning simplicity of both places, and that was the inspiration for opening an Italian deli with a Yorkshire twist.
Having worked in the legal, charity and safeguarding sectors, Laura was also focused on supporting the rehabilitation of women offenders who may have suffered abuse or mental health issues that have had an impact up their children and/or other family members. Bringing these passions together, The Larder Club offers sit down or take out experiences of specialty coffee, charcuterie, cheese, gelato and wine, all served up by a barista team including some of the most vulnerable women in our society. Many of the profits are then invested in support services to give employment experience and training aimed at reducing the risk of re-offending.
DFDS has been named as the World’s Leading Ferry Operator at the World Travel Awards for the past nine years, so it’s clear the Danish transport firm takes passenger comfort seriously. That’s why it turned to the Contract Furniture Group when it was time to refurbish the seventh floor facilities of its Dover to Calais fleet.
