Introduction

Snap-Drape's Head office and manufacturing site is located in North Herefordshire, England and supplys textile products to the hospitality industry worldwide. Snap-Drape has been in business for more than twenty years, and exports 60% of its production to many parts of the world. Europe is a major destination, but hotels, restaurants, conference centres, industrial companies, universities, situated as far apart as Singapore to Senegal to Russia can be found on the company’s long and impressive list of clients around the world.

Snap-Drape was the first company in Europe to produce table skirting and conference cloths for the hotel industry. This was in 1982, and very soon after a successful start in the UK it expanded into the export markets, the first of which was Holland, followed by France and Germany. This meant a considerable amount of travelling for Peter Graville, who started the company with his wife Vivien. The company dealt with the major hotel groups and appointed dealers for the other markets.

This early experience led to the company deciding to open its own international offices and continue with expansion in Europe. They now have offices with their own staff in the Benelux, Germany, France and Spain, with agents in many other European countries as well as representatives outside of Europe.

The company gradually introduced new designs and products, all manufactured for the rigorous requirements of the hospitality market. These days there is a wide range of products on offer including restaurant skirting, chair covers, conference drop and throw covers, cocktail table covers, conference mats.
