When I am on holiday I like wandering around the streets and looking at the landscaping of public spaces. We have recently (2025) been to London and Madrid and both have amazing public areas that really lift the experience of being a tourist. Key to the feeling of quality is the street furniture. I researched some of the companies with online catalogues to get a feel for the kind of quality and cost that is generally available.
Criteria (not exhaustive)
20 Leading suppliers of street furniture in the UK – Company Name , website, synopsis of focus, annual turnover, and company address. I have tried to identify those that actually manufacture in the uk I was particularly looking to investigate the supply of traffic bollards, bins, benches, bus stops, as well as quality stone paving. I was aiming for turnovers in excess of £1 million. I haven’t completely identified if they are UK owned or not I think some are European.
