BESPOKE EVENT FURNITURE HIRE & DESIGN BUSINESS
NORFOLK
Gas & Air Studios Ltd is an established furniture hire business specialising in handmade pieces crafted from pallets and reclaimed timber. Operating from a base near Diss, Norfolk, it serves customers throughout East Anglia and beyond, supplying weddings, festivals, corporate events, television and film productions, and private celebrations. Incorporated in July 2016, the company has developed a recognisable style centred on the use of reclaimed materials, with furniture suited to settings ranging from small private gatherings to large public events.
The hire range encompasses seating, tables and bars, alongside furniture design, installations and commissions for commercial and private customers. This gives the business a presence across both the event hire and bespoke furniture markets, combining an established stock of reusable hire items with the capability to create pieces for individual projects. With a history of profitable trading, repeat customers and an established source of online enquiries, the business offers purchasers an existing operation with opportunities to develop its marketing activity and broaden its product range.
BUSINESS:
Over the course of its trading history, the company has supplied furniture to events including Wilderness Festival, Taste of London, Boardmasters, Boomtown Festival and the Royal Norfolk Show. Its customer base includes professional event companies such as Festival Republic, IMG, Live Nation and Wonderland Agency. It has also supplied furniture to events held for or by organisations including Google, Red Bull, Deliveroo, Soho House and several universities. This breadth of work reflects experience meeting the requirements of both event industry clients and customers arranging individual occasions.
The website plays a central role in generating business, attracting more than 250 genuine enquiries annually without paid advertising. Its organic search presence is supported by an extensive portfolio of previous work, product photographs and images showing the furniture in use. In 2025, the company recorded 296 enquiries and 98 completed jobs, while the figures to 23 July 2026 show 247 enquiries and 58 completed jobs. These records provide prospective purchasers with a documented picture of enquiry volumes and completed work.
Day-to-day management is focused primarily on administration and coordination. The owner responds to enquiries, prepares quotations, manages customer communication and arranges vans and drivers for deliveries and collections, without personally undertaking the transport work. Two part-time employees have provided operational support, carrying out furniture repairs, assisting with loading and unloading, and building additional stock. These activities support the upkeep of the hire inventory and allow new pieces to be produced within the existing operation.
The sale includes existing bookings, with three bookings for 2027 already secured at approximately £9,500 plus VAT. The furniture hire inventory was valued at approximately £95,000 as at 31 July 2025 and is included in the sale, together with storage racking and several tonnes of pallets and pallet wood. The domain name, website, customer database, client relationships and social media accounts also form part of the opportunity. A 15m x 10.5m stretch tent and a 40ft shipping container may be available as additional purchases. No property is included, and the company is not tied into a lease at its current trading premises.
Further development could centre on more active promotion of the existing offering. Increased social media activity, paid advertising, use of wedding and event fairs and wedding blogs, company newsletters and trade partnerships with local venues are among the avenues identified in the supplied business information. An online quotation system, updated product photography and further search engine optimisation are also identified as potential website improvements.
There is additional scope to consider expanding the hire collection through soft furnishings, decorative accessories and additional furniture, such as used whisky barrels, wooden picnic benches and deck chairs, plus a wider range of bars. Giving greater emphasis to bespoke builds could develop the commissioned work alongside the hire operation. These are options for a purchaser to assess against the established customer demand, available resources and their preferred direction for the business.
